At Ascent Cloud, we discuss a performance management methodology all the time; what it is, and what it can do. At its core, a solid performance management strategy is about saving time and giving leaders time back in their schedules to focus on their team’s success, rather than constantly putting out fires. 

This month, Jacqueline Leras, Marketing Coordinator, is joined by her Ascent Cloud colleague, Steve Dombroski, Account Management Team Lead, to discuss how to improve your 1-1’s to encourage better conversations and drive success. 

In this episode, they chat about:

• Giving yourself permission to slow down
• Allowing your reps to drive the conversation
• Tracking the success of your 1-1’s through work performance and life achievements
