We’re in the midst of a generational shift—one where artificial intelligence is reshaping how we work, how we serve customers, and how we think about the roles of humans in business. But here’s the reality I’ve seen across dozens of companies: AI is not a silver bullet, and it’s not a pink slip. It’s a power tool—one that requires a skilled operator, a clear use case, and the right safety measures in place.

A one-string banjo doesn’t sound happy. Overconfidence in one strength brings leaders down. Visionaries fail when they can’t get stuff done.

The traditional, yearly performance review, where managers and employees engage in a high-stakes evaluation based on unreliable memories and incomplete snapshots of performance prone to recency bias. But in teams that treat agility and adaptability as paramount, the annual review is giving way to something more effective. Continuous performance feedback turns evaluation from a periodic event into an ongoing dialogue.

While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
