Most leaders DREAD the formal performance review; because they don’t prepare and they don’t know what to expect. Today I go deep on how to control the dialogue, so that your review becomes a career accelerator, rather than a spirited defense of your failings.
Let’s face it: you know your performance hasn’t been perfect, so it’s easy to agonise over how your boss might evaluate you.
This makes it tempting to just throw yourself at your boss’s mercy, and plead for leniency, hoping the good will outweigh the not-so-good.
But if you manage this conversation well, it will reinforce your value, and shape how the organisation sees your future.
In this episode, I give you a practical framework for nailing your formal review. From KPIs to performance standards, I show you how to read the room before you walk in, and how to build a case to support your performance evaluation.
I also show you how to take advantage of an opportunity that almost everyone leaves on the table.

How many times have you sat in a room full of senior people, thinking about making a great point, but never actually speaking up?
If your workload is out of control, your best people are leaving, and you feel alone and unsupported, it might be that you're working for a weak leader.
You never know what to expect when mentoring CEOs.
In leadership, difficult conversations come with the territory. So, if your goal is to make everyone happy… go work in a donut shop!
The hardest thing I ever tried to do as an executive was to stop the sh!t that had already started: it gets a life of its own.
