We suggest that HR/OD replace traditional practices with a less confrontational, more co-equal process between leaders and their direct reports. We discuss practical, simple ways to make this happen: Get rid of grading and complex rating methods that are bureaucratic and don't work. Build a process using methodologies we know work - Straight talk, appreciative inquiry, and timely feedback. Balance the conversation by focusing as much on future expectations and professional development as reviewing past performance. Using powerful questions that promote a conversation that works for both the boss and employee. So, come on In. Grab a snack.
