Insights for practical performance management

This blog collects short, usable pieces about continuous performance management: how to run frequent check-ins that scale, coaching scripts that move conversations to development, and simple dashboards that reveal trends not noise. Each post focuses on a specific problem and describes a small experiment you can try in one team this week. Our aim is to translate theory into a few practical steps so leaders and managers can focus more time on coaching and less time on paperwork. Topics include manager enablement, aligning individual goals with strategy, recognition that reinforces behavior, and lightweight measurement to spot risks early. Posts are concise and grounded in outcomes so you can adopt or adapt them quickly.
