In today’s episode, host Teresa McQueen talks with Alex Geesbreght about “Performance Reviews : A New Mindset.”

Alex Geesbreght is the Founder and Partner of PRAX Leadership, LLC, Geesbreght Capital, LP, and Geesbreght Group LLC. He is also a former Owner of Emergency Medicine Consultants, where he served in various roles including General Counsel, President, and Chief Strategy Officer for over sixteen years until the sale of the company in 2018.

Performance Reviews can be a risk management tool and a way to determine pay. Teresa and Alex reflect on how having different perspectives on performance reviews can be useful for organizations. If businesses treated their employees like family, it could change how performance reviews are approached. Conflict resolution can be avoided when performance reviews are held more than annually or twice a year. Regular feedback is important, though it can be uncomfortable, and can lead to growth and improvement. Open and honest communication is crucial and can have long-lasting positive impacts.

While technology provides many ways to communicate, it can create barriers to basic human interaction. Properly setting up organizational charts is important for creating a more natural and efficient work environment.

“If businesses did a better job of treating their people like they treat their families, I think you would have a different perspective on a performance review.”
