Today on the Grow Your Influence Podcast we are getting super practical and talking about one of the most important leadership responsibilities – conducting Performance Reviews with our teams.

Let’s face it – we’ve all participated in reviews in one way or another that have not been particularly effective. Historically they have been long, drawn out, anxiety inducing discussions for all involved.

The good news is there are better ways to do reviews, and there are strategies you can implement to ensure your reviews are incredibly insightful and beneficial for the individual employees and the business.

In today’s episode, we discuss review models, review cadence and some of our key recommendations to ensure your reviews are valuable discussions.

We would love to hear from you and learn about how you conduct effective performance reviews in your business. You can share your experiences and ask questions at

We’ve all met them at some stage in our lives. Those people whose responses seems a little odd and whose behaviour can be completely ‘off’ sometimes. Those people who can look you in the eye and lie, who manipulate situations to suit themselves. The classic definition is ‘psychopath, but, as David Gillespie tells us, Hollywood has pretty much hijacked that term so we often call them sociopaths or narcissists and there are overlaps with these.

If you missed them, Juliet talked with Davie Gillespie about Toxic People in episodes 62 and 63 (part of our Summer Series) where he discussed what’s missing for these people and how to identify and manage them.

In this episode, Juliet and Kristy-Lee recap David’s findings and talk about how to ensure we don’t bring these people into our teams, where they can do immeasurable damage, and how to manage them if they are already there. We would love to hear from you if you have had or still have a psychopath in your team and how you have managed their impact on you and the team.

Ugh, conflict at work! Itmakes everything more difficult and can see you and your teamwalking on eggshells, spending time and energy worrying about the situation. What weknow is that your team will be watching you to see how you handle it so just ignoring it andhoping the issue will resolve itself and people will sort themselves out is not a solution.

In this episode, Juliet and Kristy-Lee discuss how to deal with conflict between team members and how to deal with it when you are involved. None of this is easy but, as leaders, we need to deal with it and there are definitely approaches that can make this easier and more successful. We would love to hear from you about how you deal with conflict with in your team and how you bring yourself to the table when you are part of the conflict.
