Performance reviews are broken. Not just flawed or outdated, but fundamentally broken. Despite the hours poured into self-assessments, calibrations and ratings, 95% of managers are dissatisfied with the review process. We kill the annual review process only to resurrect it six months or a year later because we need a way to tie pay to performance. Even more telling, fewer than one in five employees walk away from a review feeling inspired to improve. If performance management is meant to fuel performance, the system is clearly falling short. Now, like with everything else, we’re asking: can AI help fix it? I think it can, but only if we stop expecting AI to do what humans never could, give perfectly unbiased feedback, and start asking it to reduce the biases humans already exhibit in the process today. For the past two decades, I’ve seen what happens when performance systems fail. A brilliant engineer I knew (let’s call her Tracy) helped half of her team deliver on a critica...
