125. Five Star Review

Corporate Strategy

What if your performance review depended on more than just numbers? In our latest episode of Corporate Strategy, Clark is back from London, full of delightful anecdotes about fish and chips and the persistent drizzle. We’re thrilled to be back on track with our podcast schedule, and we kick off by sharing stories from Clark’s trip and celebrating a recent episode on interview tips with Alex that’s already helping listeners land jobs.
Next, we tackle the often bewildering world of 360 performance reviews, especially in a culturally diverse workforce. How do you rate a colleague without clear criteria, and what happens when cultural differences influence those ratings? We unravel our own experiences, comparing American and European rating systems, and stress the importance of clear, quantifiable metrics. Our discussion shines a light on the broader implications of the binary rating mindset in American corporate culture and the need for more nuanced evaluation systems.
Lastly, we dive into the complexities of feedback in the workplace. Why do we celebrate routine achievements on LinkedIn, and how can we make feedback more meaningful? We explore how leaders can set clear benchmarks for evaluations and the challenges high-performers face when receiving criticism. Wrapping up, we offer actionable steps to seek honest feedback and create competency checklists to aid professional growth. And don’t miss our fun “What Do You Meme?” segment where we share listener-contributed memes and community highlights for a perfect blend of humor and insight. Join us for a packed episode sure to leave you thinking and laughing.
