Rob Lion shares how he botched a performance feedback conversation with his team member: AND, on a better note, how called out a “constant complainer” on his team. Rob is the Co-Founder of Black River Performance Management and a professor of human resource development at Idaho State University where his teaching and research focus on organizational psychology and behaviour. Rob is an experienced business owner himself in the food and beverage, personal fitness, and business development industries and has over a decade of work in economic development. In those roles, he says, he saw too many people leaving pieces of their soul in the workplace. And that’s what drives him to nurture better leaders.
