Definition
Review the Performance is the recurring accountability process for comparing results with targets, examining unresolved issues, documenting decisions, and adjusting the plan. It converts reports into action and ensures that ownership, timing, and follow-up are clear.
Why it matters
This creates a repeatable control point between owner strategy and management execution, making performance visible and reducing reliance on memory, personality, or heroics.
Owner and investor takeaway
Require a clear owner-management handoff, measurable outputs, consistent definitions, and a reporting cadence that surfaces problems before they become expensive.
Staff operating takeaway
Follow the defined cadence, own the next action, document evidence, escalate at the agreed threshold, and report outcomes rather than activity alone.
Watch for this
Common mistake
Confusing responsiveness or busyness with performance and accepting narratives without targets, trend data, owners, dates, and corrective actions.
