Rules

This is a regular discussion of individual performance. It is a companion to a rigorous Performance Review process.

This is a short meeting to address obvious areas of concern (from both sides of the table). It is not meant to be an adversarial confrontation.

Keep it short and to the point. Stick to the allotter time of 20 mins.

Keep notes of issues discussed and agreed actions.

You do not discuss “day-to-day” transactional issues – hence the name “Circuit Breaker”.

Schedule the meetings so they are regular and not skipped.
