Not everyone is able to create world-changing products while staying profitable in their business, but Tony suggests that passion for one's trade will lead to the discovery of adjacent passions and opportunities that allows one to expand into new interests that could have a more global impact. The product Tony's team created connects innovation to sustainability through controlling Tio2 by using 66% less Tio2 than traditional products. We chat about the progress Tony and his team has made in paint chemistry that pairs efficiency with eco-friendliness, and we discuss the bandwidth needed to balance innovation and elevation.

Become a member: https://www.pcapainted.org/membership-resources/ To download the Supervisor and Employee Performance Review Documents, click here: https://trybta.com/YTEP135 Performance Reviews are a misunderstood facet of a company’s performance management cycle. You may have already implemented them and love how they help grow and develop the talent on your team. You might think they’re an unnecessary formality from the corporate HR world. Or (and I suspect this is a lot of you) you might be somewhere in the middle, doing a quasi-formal year-end meeting where some feedback is given, but it quickly devolves into a compensation negotiation or a bitch and moan fest (not ideal �.) Wherever you sit on this spectrum, I promise you’ll get a tonne from this episode, where we outline exactly why you need to start doing them (if you’re not already) and how to get started. To help me, I’m joined by one of our amazing Breakthrough Academy coaches, Ashley Ennis. Ashley’s been with BTA since 2017 and has helped hundreds of our members implement performance reviews that their teams are pumped for. So if you want to develop your people faster, create leaders within your business, and foster a culture of transparency and data-driven feedback, watch this episode. 00:00 - Intro 02:08 - What do most contractors get wrong about performance reviews? 07:58 - Breakthrough Academy's approach to performance reviews 14:52 - How they fit into the broader performance management cycle 17:42 - Why you need to do them (even if you're reluctant) 19:58 - Supervisor Prep 24:45 - Employee Prep 30:26 - Timing (when should we do them?) 39:11 - How to give difficult feedback 45:06 - Employee development plans 51:47 - What to do about low performers 54:08 - What happens when these are done well?
