What? For real? Most of the time, I believe most of think "effective" and "performance review" don't belong together. The team at ZingTrain share, through this webinar, their thoughts on ways to improve on this procedure that both managers and their employees dread.

This post continues our ZingTrain webinar replays. This is the beginning of the 2nd series that I've called, Building a Great Team.
The first recording has a crazy echo and we won't replay it here. The 2nd webinar is called 8 Terrific Tips to Tune up Your Team. If you find your team is experiencing the following, then you need to listen for some great ideas to help solve them:
Productivity is down
Energy seems flat
Interpersonal tension is up
“Fun” isn’t a word you’d use to describe coming to work

Katie Frank is a ZingTrain consultant and trainer. In part 2 of my discussion with Katie we deep dive into what ZingTrain does, but to me it is really a discussion of some steps people can take to start making a more intentional and inspired workplace.
This is cliche but you have to be the change you want. Blahhhh. As much as I don’t want to admit it, it’s true. If you’re a cog in your machine, you can make a difference where you are and Katie, by explaining some of the work ZingTrain is doing, gives some great tips on ways to move the needle. Even if the change is within yourself and by extension, your family isn’t that a step worth taking? She admits that it’s tough for middle managers to make these changes in a larger context. However, I want to encourage you that change is possible, again, even if it’s within yourself and your small circle of influence. How can you make your circle more inspiring, caring, human, and impactful?
