    Are performance reviews nonsense?

    We just had to get this off of our collective chests!

    Everyday Experts - Nate Zinsser

    Dr. Zinsser, an expert in the psychology of human performance, talks about how to stop history repeating itself; if you failed at something in the past, how to be confident that it won’t happen like that in the future.
