Taking Back Performance Management
TIER1 Performance
Every organization is trying to activate strategies. These strategies provide an organization with a direction, and they require action to realize the best impact. Action is contingent on people, and the role of people in activating strategy is often underplayed or undervalued. As the way we work and the work we do continues to evolve, the ways we define, measure, and reward performance must also evolve so that we can get to where we want to go.

Hope as a Strategy
TiER1 Performance
You’ve probably heard the saying “hope is not a strategy.” It’s a phrase that is tossed around today as part of our political and corporate lexicons. Although the initial intent of the phrase rings true (i.e. focusing on the need to act), I urge you to think about hope differently, and the role that it plays in strategy.
