Personally, I thought the article was excellent. I don’t think the authors would be as well regarded and successful in their personal leadership journey if they thought business was “a frivolous game” as you are insuating… Using a football metaphor to try to get their point across can be powerful for some readers and will not connect with others, and that’s ok in my book. I’m surprised you are discouraged over a metaphor, sports and leadership have a lot in common and you are missing out on great content if you are walking through life being discouraged by articles with sports analogies/metaphors. Please don’t take offense to this, I think this is a great opportunity to take the time and do some self-reflection though. Have a great day!

Kev, Exactly why we wrote this 😉 Thank you! Honestly, I like it even better when it doesn’t “count,” because you have more flexibility for meaningful conversation without worries of rankings or ratings. And your team will be grateful for the extra effort.

Definitely, Kev – whether it’s formalized or not, these mid-year conversations help.

This article is a nice argument against that, and at least encourages me to maybe touch base more formally at the six-month mark even it doesn’t “count” as a semi-annual evaluation.

We try to mix up our metaphors so that over time they appeal to a broad range of our diverse audience. The how to make it meaningful and the questions still work even for those of us who don’t spend a lot of time at football games (including me 😉

This is business, not sports. Maybe if managers viewed it as such more would get done. Too bad that in order for you to believe that you are being heard you have to speak to those that think everything is about football. Personally I’m discouraged.
