#14 Their Performance Review. Your Problem.

Performance review season is over. You had the conversations, delivered the feedback, and closed the laptop. And now you think the hard part is behind you.

It isn't.

While you're moving on, your team member is sitting at their desk doing the math on that 2% raise and quietly making decisions about their future. Whether they got difficult feedback or a glowing review with a disappointing number attached to it, what happens after the review is what determines whether they stay engaged or slowly check out.

In this episode, I'm talking about the two scenarios that play out every review season, the core mistake managers make when it's over, and exactly what to do differently because the silence after a performance review is never neutral.

In this episode:

• Why great reviews with small raises are just as dangerous as difficult ones
• What "thank you for the feedback" actually means
• How to follow up without reopening a can of worms
• What to say when the salary number doesn't match the effort
• Why the quiet, agreeable ones are the ones you should worry about most

The review was the easy part. Showing up after it? That's the real job.
