Starting over: A new blueprint for performance management
We interviewed 67 elite performers from beyond the corporate world to find out how they cultivate high-performing individuals and teams.
Are you ready to rewrite the rules of performance management?
For years, organizations have been striving to hold managers and employees accountable for effective, quality performance conversations. Few have made progress. If anything, things have gotten worse. So, let’s just face facts: those of us in industry do not know how to do performance management. But luckily, there are people who do.
We interviewed 67 elite performers from beyond the corporate world, in fields ranging from musical theatre to cuisine, to find out how they cultivate high-performing individuals and teams.
What we discovered has turned our thinking on the subject upside down and inspired us to create a new blueprint for performance management.
What elite performers do differently
We spoke to top performers from around the world – all of them in fields where feedback has been developed into an art form. Their insights show us what a truly effective approach to performance management could look like.

Create a performance driving environment
-
Turn your leaders into feedback experts
-
Grow performance feedback hungry individuals
