The Shift is a conversational podcast for HR and People leaders who are carrying real responsibility and trying to lead with clarity in the middle of change. Youāll leave with practical language, grounded frameworks, and a little more courage to take the next right step. If youāre tired of performative HR conversations and want honest dialogue that actually helps you lead, youāre in the right place.
The future of work isnāt waiting for us to catch up.
But when it comes to performance management, most companies are still trying to recreate the past…just faster with AI.
In this episode of The Shift, we sit down with Matthew Meadows, Founder of WorkStory, to talk about what actually needs to change in performance, feedback, and how we lead teams today.
We get into:
- Why AI is accelerating broken systems
- The real cost of annual reviews
- Why teams struggle to let go of what isnāt working
- What it looks like to start fresh (without overhauling everything)
Because this isnāt about fixing reviews.
Itās about rethinking how performance actually works.
