I really enjoyed this article in the Wall Street Journal about eliminating those awful annual performance appraisals. Brought back all kinds of not-so pleasant memories along with validation for why we do what we do at Incite! I remember, back in the corporate world, how anxious my colleagues and I felt whenever our annual reviews […]

Great news! This month’s Smart CEO Magazine– both the DC and the Baltimore issues – have published my quote on CEO burnouts. Of course, the part of the interview they chose to publish was about my own burnout (rather than all the brilliant insights I’ve given clients over the years to battle theirs).
