What if employees took more ownership of their own performance reviews?
In this clip, Michael Palumbos explains how using scorecards changed the way his team approaches employee reviews. Instead of leadership carrying the entire process, employees take responsibility for scheduling and preparing for their review conversations.
It’s a simple shift that reinforces employee accountability, clear expectations, and ownership—especially important when you’re building a high-performing team.

They crushed the interview. They seemed confident, capable, and like the perfect addition to your team.
Then they started the job—and the red flags appeared.
In this clip, hiring expert Andrea Roberts explains the C-Player hiring trap: candidates who interview well but later struggle with performance, accountability, feedback, or fitting into the company culture.
The biggest lesson? A great interview doesn’t always mean a great hire.
Andrea shares why business owners need a structured hiring process that looks beyond personality and evaluates whether someone truly has the skills, accountability, and values needed to become an A Player.

Dann Van Der Vliet explains why family business governance starts with communication and how “little g governance” comes before formal policies and structures.

Michael Palumbos explains why success creates complexity in a family business as ownership and leadership expand across generations.
The systems that worked when one person led the business may not work as siblings, cousins, and future generations become involved. Growth requires families to recognize when their communication and decision-making systems need to evolve.
