Is your annual review a licence that expires? Jenny & Ron debate
Jenny and Ron debate HBR's take on continuous assessment: skills change faster than a once-a-year review, but the fix is not keystroke tracking. Assess from real work, then coach, with live goals, honest feedback and a proper one-to-one. A 36-second debate.
Transcript
Ron: Jenny, annual reviews are done. Everyone's licensed for another year!
Jenny: Licensed? Ron, skills don't wait twelve months to change.
Ron: Wait, really? So we watch people all year? That sounds like surveillance.
Jenny: No keystroke counting. HBR's Choudary and Winsor say: assess from real work, then coach.
Ron: So, live goals, honest feedback, and a proper one-to-one?
Jenny: Exactly. Grab the free People Performance Playbook. The link's below.
