The Performance Review Is Dead

When major corporations like Adobe, GE, Deloitte, and Microsoft ditched their annual performance reviews, they set off sea change in the world of performance management. There’s now nearly universal agreement that these antiquated practices don’t work and need to go, but very little agreement about what to do instead. This gap has left HR and business leaders scratching their heads.

Mission Vs Vision

When inventing something new, there’s always an opportunity to create something new in language as well. Simon Sinek brilliantly did this with his concept of WHY. The terms “mission” and “vision” had become misused and abused to the point where there’d lost their meaning and in many cases gave rise to skepticism and cynicism.

Best-Self Review

I believe that releasing the Best-Self Review will mark a key inflection point in our company’s history, and that we have some great days ahead. Thank you all for making this company what it is today, and for signing up on this journey to becoming your own Best Selves.

 I attribute much of our success, and the fact that we’ve been able to be so incredibly effective and capital efficient with such a relatively small team to that commitment we all share to our own growth, development and becoming our best selves.
