  • Performance Management
    Jun 17 2025

    Do you dread the word PDR or perhaps struggle setting objectives?

    In this episode we discuss an issue that's important for any manager, performance management. We talk about the 'mechanical' side of it; the meetings, the conversations and the objectives for the year. And then how they can work alongside the more nuanced behavioural aspects, the principles and approaches you can take to people management to help both you and the team deliver your best.

    Making that step up from team member to manager can be tough. Suddenly you're not just managing your own workload and output, you're dealing with everyone else’s too. It can be overwhelming. In this episode we talk to Emma Barrow, an experienced Head of Communications and people manager, about her experience and how she deals with the needs of being a manager. In this wide-ranging conversation we talk about everything from the importance of organising yourself to constantly reviewing, learning and practicing the role of a people leader.
