The Year End Review Sprint

7 simulations. The year end conversations managers dread most, practised before reviews begin.

Year end reviews are where trust is built or broken each year. This seven simulation sprint gives managers realistic practice for the conversations that matter most: making the review count, holding the hard conversations, defending ratings in calibration, and delivering a rating someone will not agree with.

  • Sim 1: Making the Performance Review Conversation Mean Something
  • Sim 2: The Feedback Conversation You've Been Avoiding Too Long
