Performance Review Systems that Work with Stephanie Theisen - Episode 141

Welcome back, friends! In this episode of the Grounding and Growing Leadership Podcast, Tara is joined by co-host and ALIGN’s Chief Strategy Officer, Stephanie Theisen, to rethink the traditional performance review. They explore why annual reviews often fall short and how clear goals, regular feedback, and ongoing coaching can create a more effective approach to performance management. Tara and Stephanie also discuss navigating employee pushback around growth and shifting from reactive conversations to proactive coaching. The takeaway: performance management shouldn’t be a once-a-year event, but an ongoing rhythm that helps employees grow, understand expectations, and perform at their best.  Registration for our next Grounded Leadership cohort is now open!   Registration for our next Coaching For Performance cohort is now open!   Registration for our next Managers Essentials Course is now open!  Comments or questions about this episode?
