The big topics of this Simply Human Newsletter - Measuring Performance, Accountability, and Office Competition
👋 Hey,
Think of your last performance review: Is the way performance is done a relic of a bygone era? We think so!
Gold stars and leaderboards aren’t really working:
Ranking and competition stifle collaboration, and the carrot-and-stick approach to accountability simply doesn't ignite passion. What if flip the script?
We have selected some alternative methods that foster development, accountability, and collaboration, all while ditching the demotivating metrics and internal competitions of the past.
Stay curious! 👇

“In putting together your standards, remember that it is essential to involve your entire team. Standards are not rules issued by the boss; they are a collective identity.
