Set future performance reviews up for success now | Lara Hogan

Hogan's thinking and writing on these topics is brilliant. I like how she prescribes a method for approaching feedback throughout the year. One thing I have seen often is that 1:1 time can be filled with tactical stuff. I tend to push that out of 1:1's if I can, but it is hard to do. The tactical stuff will get done, the deeper conversations take longer. Being intentional about the cadence, length, and time-of-day for your 1:1s can help this. I've been debating going to monthly 1:1s that are 90-minutes to have the space you need to have a substantive conversation. The tactical stuff will still get done, but that amount of time and space would create a venue for a "real" dialog.
