An Alternative to Performance Reviews (Retain Your Team, Don't Grade Them!)

[@DavidBurkus]

Thanks all for notifying us about the typo at 0:37. Unfortunately, it's too late to change it in the video. But we did revise our self-assessment down from a 5 to a 4 in the area of proof-reading.

I gave myself a 1 on a skill once because I'd never done it before. During my review my boss told me to upgrade it to a 2 because "Even though you haven't done it before it's similar enough to other things you've done so I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly."

[@DavidBurkus]

Wow. Well played there. (Also it's insane that you'd even be assessed on something you've never done before.)

Great video. I’m curious on your comments about AI showing managers what to look at. I hope to hear more from you on that.

[@DavidBurkus]

Thanks. It’s actually next month’s video.

Bob Sutton's tweet brought me here. Jack Welch's system and organizations copying and pasting that method have done real damage in the Tech sector (and elsewhere) where collaboration and teamwork define the success of team members and teams. Curious to know what books we see on the shelves in the background 🙂

[@DavidBurkus]

Thanks so much. Which background? In my office, those are all mine. In the library (color coded) there are too many different titles to list....all of Bob's are there somewhere though.

You asked for a comment around a "1"! I'll fess up! Happy to share my story. 😀

[@DavidBurkus]

Please do. I’m really curious.

There's a spelling mistake on the Bob Sutton quote. FYSA.

[@DavidBurkus]

Thanks! Good catch. We totally missed it. Sadly, too late to fix
