If you're employed in a large organization , an essential component of your annual review is how much your manager likes/needs you. I don't mean this cynically or flippantly. There are a lot of bureaucratic processes around annual reviews to make them seem "fair" and "objective.” But they never have been, and they never will be. They’re based on set measures from ‘on-high’ (management/HR), how valuable you are (how hard would it be to replace you), and how much your manager likes you.

When economic headwinds pick up, sales leaders are the first to sound the alarm — and chart a new course. Longer sales cycles, larger buying committees, increased price pressure, and smaller teams can quickly combine to reduce your margin for error and increase the urgency to find a solution. To thrive in a challenging environment, sales teams need a rock-solid grasp of the fundamentals and the biggest force-multipliers they can get their hands on.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
