Without a good performance review process, managers risk leaving employees unhappy, unproductive, and unaligned on goals that affect personal progress and the business.  So how do you fix a broken performance review process? In this episode of HR Unplugged, we welcomed special guest Adam Weber, Chief Evangelist at 15Five, to share his perspective and advice for leaders. Adam is the host of the HR Superstars podcast and leads the HR Superstars community alongside his main role. His book ‘Lead Like a Human’ also details how to lead and build high-performance teams but in a way that honors your authentic self.  Our conversation explores what the data says about performance reviews from the perspective of managers and employees, why there’s often a disconnect in the review process, and how leaders can build a culture of feedback.
