You hold the meetings.
You follow the template.
You ask about goals, development, challenges.
They nod. You nod.
Everyone agrees it actually does feel like a useful conversation.
But nothing REALLY changes.
Same attitude.
Same habits.
No clarity in next steps.
Until next year’s review rolls around.
So let me ask you this;
↳ Have you ever been trained to run a performance review?
↳ Have you ever been told what to say, and more importantly what NOT to say?
↳ Do you know the legal risks of saying the wrong thing?
↳ And when that conversation ends... does anything actually shift?
Most managers were never taught any of this.
They just inherited someone else’s template.
Or guessed their way through it.
And if that sounds like you, you’re not alone.
Let's be honest -
You can’t manage performance if you’re just managing paperwork.
That’s why I built this.....
Our Leadership Self-Assessment Tool for Performance Conversations.
It's a free, plug-and-play Excel toolkit for managers like you, especially when you’re dealing with underperformance, conflict, or withdrawal.
We even use it for our paying clients.
It breaks reviews down into 5 real-world segments:
Missed deadlines / poor results
Poor decision-making or wrong action
Communication or conflict issues
Disengagement or emotional withdrawal
Repeat patterns and ongoing concerns
With a bonus segment too.
Inside each you get:
✔️ Trigger scenarios
✔️ What to say (and what not to)
✔️ Leadership reflections
✔️ Legal lens: risks under Equality Act
✔️ Risk ratings: red–amber–green system
This isn’t fluffy.
It’s legal.
It’s behavioural.
It’s actually practical.

We’ll walk you through how everyday conversations become legal liabilities, and what to do instead.
How confident are you that your next performance review won’t cause more harm than good?
