Fostering a culture of openness and transparency means regularly evaluating and reviewing performance.

People leaders provide clarity and alignment by setting goals and KPIs during performance reviews and Team Plan workshops. These are revisited in regular forums to evaluate progress, celebrate wins and reflect on lessons learned along the way.

Regular evaluation and review forums create context, meaning and connection to your company’s purpose, values and vision. They create a cadence around which all work activities revolve and help teams remain not just accountable, but motivated, because they are times when we actively observe progress and experience a sense of achievement.

What to expect in this episode:

(07:35): How to effectively evaluate and review performance.

(10:11): What can happen at an annual leave if there’s criticism?

(16:53): Where CEOs need to be heavily involved.

A well-defined and succinct one-page Business Plan without a process to translate that plan into action is just a good read.

The senior or executive team sets strategic goals, targets and priorities, but teams and individuals should have a large degree of autonomy over how that work is delivered.

The Business Plan is cascaded to a Team Plan and My Plan via Team Plan workshops and annual performance reviews.

What to expect in this episode:

(02:16): Transform your business plan into an action plan.

(08:34): What a good quarterly team planning checkpoint looks like.

(15:07): What makes a great individual plan for your employees.
