Transform dreaded performance reviews into powerful conversations that drive growth and alignment. This simulation immerses you in the complex psychology of feedback delivery, where your words can either inspire breakthrough performance or destroy morale forever.
Navigate the minefield of delivering difficult ratings with empathy while maintaining fairness across your team. You’ll face every manager’s nightmare scenarios: the defensive high performer who disputes their metrics, the emotional breakdown mid-conversation, and the legal landmines that come with documenting poor performance.
Master the delicate balance of recognition and development as you set SMART goals that stretch capabilities without overwhelming. Experience the ripple effects as your review conversations influence retention, motivation, and team dynamics for months afterward. Learn when to coach through weakness versus when to cut losses, how to handle promotion expectations, and the art of turning awkward annual conversations into ongoing development dialogues.
Each decision shapes not just individual careers, but your reputation as a leader worth following.
