Podcasts about performance evaluations

We delve deep into the big questions around that Spurs defeat to Aston Villa. However we break it up into three parts for a more rounded view rather than just looking at the performance in isolation. - Was it right to rotate - How did the players who were picked perform - What were the tactics We discuss the challenges of managing injuries and the depth of the squad, while also addressing fan engagement and the value of season tickets. The conversation highlights the need for improvements in the squad and the potential for future success, particularly if Spurs can secure a win in the Europa League. The conversation delves into the impact of injuries on team performance, the balance of luck and skill in tournament progression, and the future of the current manager. The panel discusses the importance of winning trophies, evaluating managerial performance, and the challenges of consistency in play. They also explore the philosophy of scoring versus defending, the significance of a strong defense, and the upcoming Europa League final, balancing optimism with realism in fan expectations.

In today's episode, we're diving into performance evaluations in K-12 education. When done right, they're not just checkboxes; they're tools for growth, alignment, and accountability across every role in a school system.How can districts move from good to great with evaluations? By focusing on fairness, feedback, and frequent touchpoints. Let's explore how intentional systems can motivate staff and drive lasting school improvement.#EducationalLeader,Kim “When students are led well, they learn well.”Website: http://kimdmoore.comBook: http://leadershipchairbook.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kimdmooreYouTube: https://youtube.com/@EducationalLeaderThe views shared in the Educational Leadership Moment are solely mine and do not reflect the positions of my employer or any entity within the local, state, or federal government sectors.

Performance evaluations can be a stressful and uncertain process, especially when unclear expectations and shifting company policies come into play.Many employees find themselves in situations where new workplace rules—such as in-office attendance requirements—suddenly become factors in their evaluations, leaving them unsure of how to advocate for themselves.What do you do when the criteria for promotions and raises seem ambiguous or unfair?This is part 2 of a 3-part series, and in this episode, we break down key aspects of Sylvia's case and explore negotiation strategies to ensure her hard work and contributions are recognized.In the second part of this episode, our listener question is: How do I navigate the complex process of requesting reasonable accommodations at work, especially when dealing with unclear legal territory, back-and-forth negotiations, and a hesitant HR department?

AI professor Jeff Clune ruminates on open-ended evolutionary algorithms—systems designed to generate novel and interesting outcomes forever. Drawing inspiration from nature's boundless creativity, Clune and his collaborators aim to build “Darwin Complete” search spaces, where any computable environment can be simulated. By harnessing the power of large language models and reinforcement learning, these AI agents continuously develop new skills, explore uncharted domains, and even cooperate with one another in complex tasks. SPONSOR MESSAGES: *** CentML offers competitive pricing for GenAI model deployment, with flexible options to suit a wide range of models, from small to large-scale deployments. https://centml.ai/pricing/ Tufa AI Labs is a brand new research lab in Zurich started by Benjamin Crouzier focussed on reasoning and AGI. Are you interested in working on reasoning, or getting involved in their events? They are hosting an event in Zurich on January 9th with the ARChitects, join if you can. Goto https://tufalabs.ai/ *** A central theme throughout Clune's work is “interestingness”: an elusive quality that nudges AI agents toward genuinely original discoveries. Rather than rely on narrowly defined metrics—which often fail due to Goodhart's Law—Clune employs language models to serve as proxies for human judgment. In doing so, he ensures that “interesting” always reflects authentic novelty, opening the door to unending innovation. Yet with these extraordinary possibilities come equally significant risks. Clune says we need AI safety measures—particularly as the technology matures into powerful, open-ended forms. Potential pitfalls include agents inadvertently causing harm or malicious actors subverting AI's capabilities for destructive ends. To mitigate this, Clune advocates for prudent governance involving democratic coalitions, regulation of cutting-edge models, and global alignment protocols.

Will Williams is CTO of Speechmatics in Cambridge. In this sponsored episode - he shares deep technical insights into modern speech recognition technology and system architecture. The episode covers several key technical areas: * Speechmatics' hybrid approach to ASR, which focusses on unsupervised learning methods, achieving comparable results with 100x less data than fully supervised approaches. Williams explains why this is more efficient and generalizable than end-to-end models like Whisper. * Their production architecture implementing multiple operating points for different latency-accuracy trade-offs, with careful latency padding (up to 1.8 seconds) to ensure consistent user experience. The system uses lattice-based decoding with language model integration for improved accuracy. * The challenges and solutions in real-time ASR, including their approach to diarization (speaker identification), handling cross-talk, and implicit source separation. Williams explains why these problems remain difficult even with modern deep learning approaches. * Their testing and deployment infrastructure, including the use of mirrored environments for catching edge cases in production, and their strategy of maintaining global models rather than allowing customer-specific fine-tuning. * Technical evolution in ASR, from early days of custom CUDA kernels and manual memory management to modern frameworks, with Williams offering interesting critiques of current PyTorch memory management approaches and arguing for more efficient direct memory allocation in production systems.

ISO Standards provide a framework to help businesses manage various aspects of their activities. Whether that's quality, risk, environmental or Information Security management, they provide invaluable guidance to establish an effective Management System.  However, for those who are new to ISO Standards, the Standards themselves can seem rather intimidating to interpret. Back in 2015, the Annex SL format was introduced to provide a common high-level structure for Management Systems. With 10 clauses now common in most widely adopted ISO Standards, it can still be a bit difficult to understand exactly how these all work together. Today Ian Battersby will explain how ISO Standard clauses work in tandem to create a cohesive cycle, from context of the organisation through to Improvement.    You'll learn ·      What is the high-level structure? ·      What are ISO Standards structured this way? ·      How do ISO Standard clauses interconnect? ·      How does this apply to Quality Management?   Resources ·      Isologyhub     In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:05] Episode summary: Ian will be discussing the interconnectedness of clauses, which basically just means explaining the key links between the clauses and how that applies to your management system.     [02:40] High level structure – 10 years ago, Annex SL was introduced to create a common framework for ISO Standards. Today, Ian will focus on ISO 9001 as that really is the grandfather of all Management System Standards. ISO 9001 includes elements which are applied to most commonly adopted ISO Standards, and sets the scene in terms of how the clauses link together. [03:20] Why are ISO Standards structured this way? – On their surface, ISO Standards can seem very repetitive in the way that they're written, but there is a good reason for that. There are all based around the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle. [04:10] What is the Plan Do Check Act cycle? – This is a simple process that all Management System Standards adhere to. So you start with a ‘Plan' to establish objectives, the resources which you need to deliver results, you identify risks and opportunities. From that point you fulfil the ‘Do' part through Implementation and using the Management System. From there you ‘Check' so you monitor against the policies, objectives and any other requirements. Basically monitor against what you said you'd do and then you ‘Act' if you find anything that needs to change, you make that change and you improve as an organisation and you improve that management system. [05:00] A logical path – Management System Standards are designed in such a way that they flow from one clause to the other. One cannot exist without the other. [05:20] How does Clause 4 Context of the Organisation link with Clause 6 Planning? – As clause 4 Context of the Organisation states:  ‘external and internal issues relevant to your purpose and strategic direction… …and that affect your ability to achieve intended results' The scope of your management system depends entirely on this. The world in which you operate - what you buy, the people you employ, what you make, who you sell to, the laws you follow… Clause 4 also requires us to identify all interested parties (which we'll address later!). With careful planning, you can align documentation you develop for one clause with other clauses. Clause 4 doesn't tell us how we should work out our context, but it provides some very good clues ·      NOTE 1 Issues can include positive and negative factors ·      NOTE 2 Understand the external context by considering issues arising from legal, technological, competitive, market, cultural, social and economic environments So they're not saying how to do it, but they've said what you can consider This sounds a lot like a traditional SWOT/PESTLE analysis… If we skip to Clause 6, Planning, the first thing we must do when we plan is to identify actions to address risks and opps A SWOT will mean you've covered these elements, consider the following = ·      Weakness = Risk ·      Threat = Risk ·      Opportunity = Opportunity We can similarly view the PESTLE in the same light. So you can see that with careful planning, as mentioned you can align documentation for one clause with other clauses. [10:00] How does Clause 6 link with Clause 7 & 8? – Skipping from Clause 6.1 If you've identified what might go wrong (aka - risk), you need to plan to ensure it doesn't happen again. That may involve a single improvement action, which is linked to clause 10 (funnily enough, Improvement) It may be that you need something bigger, involving many steps, over a period of time, say an objective (clause 6.2)? So, the planning of objectives links directly to the context of the organisation, the world in which you operate. It may be that you need an operational control to mitigate risk, a process or procedure that helps to manage the situation as a business as usual situation (clause 7 documented info and clause 8, operation) So the planning of processes and procedures links directly to the context of the organisation, the world in which you operate. In all these circumstances, it's the same for opportunities, except you're putting in place measures to take advantage of the opportunities.

Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [15:10] Clause 7 Support and related links – Moving through the standard, clause 7.4 relates to Communications. You need to determine internal and external communications relevant to the QMS (for 9001). In clause 4, you would have looked at interested parties (i.e. stakeholders). You need to determine who affects the way in which you operate and what they need/expect from you. Parties to consider include: ·      Customers ·      Employees ·      Shareholders ·      Suppliers ·      Regulators ·      Neighbours ·      Media So, by Clause 7 you will have already identified who's interested and what interests them, so it's only a small step to add to this the communications plan.  ISO 9001 doesn't ask for one specifically, but it's a good way to fulfil the requirements of clause 7.3. Clause 7 also mentions Monitoring and measuring resources (7.1.5).  This is a very brief clause, but central to establishing the means for demonstrating performance. We need reliable results when monitoring or measuring is used to verify the conformity of products and services to requirements, i.e. do we do what we say we do? Clause 7.5 requires us to document how we do things.  Again it's very brief in its requirements (leaves it up to you to decide), but clause 8 is all about operation – which is the way you do things. It's much more specific about understanding what the customer wants, designing it correctly, controlling changes, making it, delivery and addressing issues.   This is what you measure: 7.1.5 requires you to ensure you can measure, 7.5 requires you to document how you do things, 8 requires you to do things according to the way you've said you will. [20:10] Clause 9 Performance Evaluation and related links – Moving onto Clause 9, Performance Evaluation, again risk appears.  We've already assessed risk right at the start, now we evaluate whether we've successfully controlled risk. We decide what to audit based on the level of risk attached to certain controls (policies, procedures, processes…). We've set objectives based on risks and opportunities and now we must measure performance. We've put in place operational controls to mitigate risk (clause 8) and now we measure whether those controls work. [21:30] Clause 10 Improvement and related links – This one is fairly self-evident. If something goes wrong, find out why and put it right and make sure it doesn't happen again. Look at your system and continually improve based on your evaluations in Clause 9.

"OH! In a couples ice dancing surprise, the judges scored a 9 for skills, but a 3 for presentation." Have you worked with that colleague who got the work done, did it well, and no one liked to work with them? Conversely, have you ever heard this about a colleague, "Yeah, they're not the best at their job, but everyone loves them." Asking whether annual performance reviews should examine behavior OR results is similar to asking if you should evaluate your vehicle based on braking or steering. Most drivers are going to want both features. But, this is one of the kinds of things leaders face. How to engage a meaningful performance review process that is standardized for consistency, but applied to all different types of people. Here are some considerations: Behavior vs. Results - It's not just about the numbers. Understand and evaluate how goals are achieved, considering both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of performance. Performance Reviews Should Never Be a Surprise - Regular feedback is essential. Ensure that your team members know where they stand throughout the year to avoid surprises during annual reviews. Leadership Responsibility - Underperformance often reflects leadership issues. Regularly check in with your team, provide clarity, and support their development to foster a culture of continuous improvement. "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." - Albert Einstein Any leadership responsibility, including annual performance reviews, is typically complex. That doesn't mean that most things cannot be simplified. And, complex things should not be over-simplified to the point of losing meaning or purpose. The No More Leadership BS team has seen how performance evaluations are over-simplified to the point of losing importance. Example, if the scale is 0-5, but no one can earn a 5, what does the scale even mean? The Team has also experienced the ebb and flow of assessing HOW a person does their job and WHAT they accomplish. The debate and discussion provides insight to the complexity as well as the clarity that can be deployed to fully consider a fair and effective evaluation process. How can you ensure your role in annual performance reviews is more robust and less regimented?

I recently got a performance evaluation at work... and that got me thinking what does a performance evaluation look like for a believer? Is it similar to the ones we get on our jobs? How are we graded? Jesus tells just how He evaluates us in John 15. Let's talk about it. Performance Evalution: a process used by organizations to give employees feedback on their job performance and formally document that performance. (according to Google) Can we take the challenge and evaluate ourselves this week?

It's that time of year when we are thinking about staff performance evaluations at UofL, and while some of us dread doing them, the truth is a thoughtful performance evaluation can help employees soar. Guest Courtney Abboud shares some of her suggestions for turning evaluations into a year-round conversation about goals and career dreams, rather than a once-a-year burden. And she sees them as tools with great potential for increasing engagement and making sure that supervisors are coaching and advocating for their teams all along the way.

In this conversation, Rich Diviney, a former Navy SEAL, discusses his transition from the military to civilian life and the creation of his book, 'The Attributes'. He emphasizes the importance of evolving with changing roles, relationships, and situations. Rich also shares insights on coaching high performers and creating high-performing teams, with trust, vulnerability, and dynamic subordination in team dynamics. The conversation provides valuable lessons for individuals and businesses looking to optimize performance and navigate uncertainty. He also discusses the challenges and rewards of parenting and entrepreneurship, while embracing the ups and downs of life and accepting change in all relationships.Rich Diviney is a bestselling author, leadership & human performance expert, and retired Navy SEAL commander. In a career spanning more than twenty years, he completed more than thirteen overseas deployments —eleven of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. He served on multiple SEAL teams and in several leadership positions, including as a commanding officer for a SEAL squadron. As the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, Rich was intimately involved in an extremely specialized SEAL selection process, which pared down a group of exceptional candidates to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers.Diviney also spearheaded the creation of a directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. He led his small team to create the first-ever “Mind Gym” that helped special operators train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better in all environments—especially high-stress ones.After retiring from the Navy in 2017, Rich worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant with the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc. In January 2021, Rich released his first book: The Attributes. 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance; and founded The Attributes Inc., where he speaks and consults on leadership, high performing teams, assessment, selection and hiring. Rich has worked with thousands of businesses, athletic, and military leaders from organizations such as American Airlines, Meijer Inc., the San Francisco 49ers, McLaren, Zoom, and Deloitte.Timestamps[00:00] Introduction and Welcome[00:14] The Host's Background and Purpose of the Show[00:47] Introducing the Guest: Rich Diviney[00:56] Rich Diviney's Background and Achievements[02:11] Reconnecting and Catching Up[03:06] Rich's Current Life and Business[03:13] Reflecting on Past Experiences and Relationships[03:25] Rich's Current Business and Concepts from His Book[09:48] The Journey to Writing a Book[12:01] Transitioning from Navy SEALs to Civilian Life[12:57] The Importance of Identity in Transition[27:43] The Concept of Dynamic Subordination in Teams[31:39] The Impact of Arrogance on Team Performance[39:03] Working with Simon Sinek and Chapman and Company[40:10] Understanding the Difference Between Skills and Attributes[40:24] The Role of Skills in Performance Evaluation[40:51] The Limitations of Skills in Unpredictable Environments[41:01] The Inherent Nature of Attributes and Their Impact on Behavior[41:42] The Challenge of Assessing Attributes[41:58] The Importance of Attributes in High Performance[42:18] The Journey of Writing a Book on Attributes[42:40] Distinguishing Between Skills and Attributes[43:10] The Process of Developing an Attribute[43:54] The Impact of Attributes on Personal and Professional Growth[50:24] The Role of Narcissism in Entrepreneurship[01:14:33] The Evolution of Relationships and Personal Growth[01:15:52] The Parallels Between SEAL Team Experience and EntrepreneurshipCheck Out “The Attributes” Author Rich Diviney:

Are you prepared to delve into your past year in endurance sports? Let's dive deep together. We'll use the four keys methodology, usually for race day, to analyze your past performances. Expect eye-opening moments. We'll assess not just your fitness but also your decision-making and execution. Time to take charge of our actions, celebrate our wins, learn from our losses, and pinpoint the training choices that propelled us forward or set us back. In our journey of self-improvement, we'll thoroughly review the past season. This will help you grasp the impact of your early decisions. We'll draw lessons from top athletes, adopting their drive and consistency into our routines. I'll introduce the concept of a 'box' - our realm of control. Inside this box, we'll focus on what we can achieve and ignore distractions. We'll identify what we missed and what we learned last season to make smarter choices for the upcoming one.

The podcast by project managers for project managers. In this episode we dive deep into the world of dyslexia and how it impacts a team's productivity and success.

WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  I'm Wendy Grounds, and in the studio with me are Bill Yates and our sound guy, Danny Brewer.  We love having you join us twice a month to be motivated and inspired by project stories and leadership lessons, and advice from industry experts from all around the world. BILL YATES:  Hey, Wendy, I've got a trivia question for you.  Try to connect these people.  Tell me what they have in common.  Let's go with George Washington, Picasso, Richard Branson, Albert Einstein, Keanu Reeves, and Tom Holland.  He's the Spider-Man. WENDY GROUNDS:  The Spider-Man, yes, I know. BILL YATES:  What do they have in common? WENDY GROUNDS:  They are really varied.  I have no idea. BILL YATES:  They all have dyslexia. WENDY GROUNDS:  Oh, my goodness.  And they were incredible people, and are incredible people, very creative, and have done amazing things in the world.  So, folks, we're talking dyslexia today. BILL YATES:  Wendy, you remember our conversation that we had on Episode 163 with Hiren Shukla.  He's with EY and leading up a fantastic effort to not just accommodate, but reach out to those who are neurodiverse.  To his point, 15 to 20% of the adult population is neurodiverse, and they wanted to tap into those resources, source them, skill them, support them so that they could be contributors to EY.  Fantastic program there.  What's interesting is, okay, 20% of the adult population is neurodiverse.  80% of that population is diagnosed with dyslexia. WENDY GROUNDS:  Oh, wow.  We have two sisters joining us.  One of the ladies is a guest that we've had on before.  Carlene Szostak joined us a little while ago to talk about negotiation.  And you've probably heard her name around PMI circles.  She's a seasoned business leader, a consultant, an author, and educator known for her expertise in project management leadership and creating inclusive workplaces that understand and support individuals with dyslexia. And her sister is Madeline Szostak Hoge.  She's the founder of Belle-Hampton Consulting, which works with family enterprises to optimize effective governance practices and long-term success mapping.  Madeline also has valuable experience in facilitating project and project leaders within her role.  She and her two sisters are bringing awareness that one in five people have the gift of dyslexia.  And this diagnosis, it was once considered an invisible disability, is now a celebrated attribute in the world of neurodiversity. She understands the challenges of dyslexia due to navigating two of her three sons through the school system with a diagnosis of dyslexia, dysgraphia,

I had a chance to meet Kevin Lloyd, a pastor from North Carolina, and I knew I wanted him to join me on the podcast. Kevin shares his journey to becoming an executive pastor and provides insights on navigating leadership challenges while developing faith. He also opens up about the spiritual disciplines he adopted to help him stay grounded and connected to God during his transition. Kevin stresses the importance of godly relationships and finding rest. He also opens up about his experiences of loneliness while moving into his new role.We shift gears to dig into how Emotional Intelligence (EQ) can impact leadership. We explore the challenges of helping someone with low EQ, figuring out how to tread the fine line between brutal honesty and empathy. I share my strategy of using performance evaluations to initiate the conversation and encourage growth, and touch on valuable resources like Aaron Burke's podcast series on EQ and the significance of tapping into someone's teachability.Special thanks to our sponsor for the month and one of our favorite ministry tools at Real Life Church, Subsplash, the first engagement platform for churches.Resources Episode Transcript Connect with KevinInstagram LifePoint Church Courageous Pastors The Synergist by Les McKeown The Emotionally Healthy Leader (Made for More Leadership Podcast)b
