How to Build a Feedback-Rich Culture Without Annual Reviews

Lucas and Luna unpack the case against the annual performance review, anchored by Adobe's 2012 decision to scrap them in favor of a continuous check-in model. They explore the data: Adobe saw a 30% reduction in voluntary turnover after the switch, and managers spent 80% less time on rating paperwork. The conversation drills into how to build a rhythm of real-time feedback, why psychological safety is a prerequisite, and what small teams can steal from the playbook without a full HR overhaul. Specific tactics include the 'two-minute check-in' and the 'start-stop-continue' framework. No theory—just what actually works when you stop saving feedback for a once-a-year form. #PerformanceReviews #ContinuousFeedback #Adobe #FeedbackCulture #PsychologicalSafety #PeopleManagement #TeamBuilding #LeadershipSkills #ManagerialCourage #EmployeeRetention #StartStopContinue #TwoMinuteCheckIn #ManagerToolkit #Business #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #LeadershipDevelopment #HRInnovation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
