If you are having performance discussions (formal and a part of your organizational process or not), I (and Steve) urge you to ask them his questions to them. Do You Really Need a Meeting to Make a Decision? You know you need to give them feedback. Are you asking for it yourself in a serious way?

Often business leaders make decisions based on a mix of data, intuition, and experience. As I happily watched these predictions come true, I thought that it was time to move on and study another topic. Experiment.

Putting political agendas and peer pressure aside (as great leaders do), leaders should not make their choices based upon public opinion.
