In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss how to conduct effective performance reviews by viewing them as an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. This shift in perspective helps reduce stress and leads to better results. They stress the importance of preparation, recommending a pre-meeting email and a clear "core message" that outlines the employee's rating, its impact on their career, and future goals. The hosts advocate for a structured meeting format that starts with areas of agreement before tackling any disagreements, all while maintaining a calm and professional attitude, even if the employee pushes back. They also introduce useful communication techniques, such as "feel, felt, found," to help navigate difficult conversations.
