In this article, we cover three hot topics. First, we discuss the process of hiring without conducting an interview.

And finally, we discuss the possibility of actually looking forward to performance evaluations.

Each of us has a collection of mental or emotional barriers we feel are insurmountable. Sometimes we are fully aware of our capabilities and limitations (imagined or real) but more often we are unaware of our true strengths. Because of this, we pursue life paths that may not be compatible with our innate, unchanging nature.

When employees are engaged, they not only outperform their peers, they become motivated and inspired contributors to the company mission instead of jumping to the next opportunity with the competition.

I always dreaded getting annual performance reviews, even though they usually went well. This one was different. "I gave you a ‘failure to meet expectations' score because you didn't achieve your objectives for the year," my boss told me. The problem was I had no idea what my objectives were.

The three components of the Performance Fuel formula — clarity, purpose, and feedback — work together. Purpose is the feeling that what you do matters and will be appreciated. Unfortunately in many organizations today, the value of purpose in our work is often unappreciated.

If someone is a hard worker, there is a universal assumption that they can do anything. We belabor the point with our children ad nauseum, "With enough hard work, you can be and do anything you set your mind to." Although with uplifting and encouraging intent, this carries with it the nasty underbelly of hard work that exists despite our unconscious denial.

Each core value has a particular way of dealing with conflict and fear. Everyone feels challenged or out of their element at times and the way we react to these situations depends entirely on our core values. One of the most useful insights provided by the full CVI report is how your particular CVI profile handles conflict. We call it Conflict Resolution Strategies and it provides powerful information that can change your personal and professional life in a profound way.

The enthusiasm of a Core Values Index adopter can be infectious to others. Like renewing a local resident's appreciation for the Columbia River Gorge when a friend visits from out of town, an interview with Dale Lovett, CEO and President of Lovett Services has heightened the author's appreciation for the power of the CVI.
