Performance Management

TTool · Performance Management

By , Editor · · What’s Next

Someone on your team needs to hear something. You're waiting for the review cycle. By the time it arrives, six weeks of drift have hardened into a pattern.

Performance management is the ongoing practice of setting expectations, providing timely feedback, and connecting individual contributions to broader purpose. You replace the annual review with continuous conversations — checking in on goals, surfacing problems early, and developing capability in real time.

A four-step horizontal flow numbered 01 to 04, labelled CADENCE, QUESTIONS, SURFACE, and NOTE, each with a line of detail (fortnightly fifteen-minute one-to-ones; three questions; say small things; three lines of notes). A footer banner reads "Fortnightly cadence beats annual tribunal."
