A 75-second explainer for People leaders, with the Revolut People bridge. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vN1tLkF8Pe8 75 2026-10-06T17:50:24+00:00 yes https://ashtaherian.net/videos/how-ranking-grades-identify-top-talent/ 2026-10-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wpE_FUucL6k/maxresdefault.jpg How ranking grades identify top talent (Jenny) Jenny walks through how ranked scores map onto a distribution curve (top 2% exceptional, next 25% exceeding, bottom 5% unsatisfactory) so you can see real top-talent density, not a wall of "meets expectations". A 84-second explainer for CPOs and People leaders. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wpE_FUucL6k 84 2026-10-06T17:50:04+00:00 yes https://ashtaherian.net/videos/revolut-people-in-30-seconds/ 2026-10-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CJbp5B5w41g/maxresdefault.jpg Revolut People in 30 seconds: goals, feedback and reviews (Jenny) A 34-second tour from Jenny of how Revolut People brings reviews, goals, continuous feedback and one-to-ones into one HR platform, so managers coach every week and reviews take minutes, not weeks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CJbp5B5w41g 34 2026-10-11T12:13:55+00:00 yes https://ashtaherian.net/videos/coach-dont-roast-continuous-feedback/ 2026-10-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UVtmjDg7mds/hqdefault.jpg Coach, don't roast: feedback that crosses the line (Jenny) HBR says humiliating feedback backfires. In 30 seconds Jenny gives the fix: write the behaviour, add the next step, keep it private, then hold a real one-to-one. Continuous feedback that raises the bar instead of shrinking people. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UVtmjDg7mds 30 2026-10-06T17:49:51+00:00 yes https://ashtaherian.net/videos/is-your-annual-review-a-licence-that-expires/ 2026-10-08 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8V4hqq5npkg/maxresdefault.jpg Is your annual review a licence that expires? Jenny & Ron debate Jenny and Ron debate HBR's take on continuous assessment: skills change faster than a once-a-year review, but the fix is not keystroke tracking. Assess from real work, then coach, with live goals, honest feedback and a proper one-to-one. A 36-second debate. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8V4hqq5npkg 36 2026-10-08T16:33:12+00:00 yes https://ashtaherian.net/videos/half-of-chros-cant-spot-low-performers/ 2026-10-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sYBnFtwJ3LA/maxresdefault.jpg Half of CHROs can't spot low performers? Jenny & Ron on Gartner's Hidden Drag Jenny and Ron debate Gartner's Hidden Drag finding: only 49% of CHROs say their performance process effectively differentiates core from low performance. The fix is a written bar, monthly one-to-ones and early spotting of drift. A 35-second debate. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sYBnFtwJ3LA 35 2026-10-11T12:14:58+00:00 yes https://ashtaherian.net/videos/only-1-in-3-talk-performance-monthly/ 2026-10-11 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yZmP1vyU5-k/maxresdefault.jpg Only 1 in 3 talk performance monthly? Jenny & Ron on Gartner's Hidden Drag Ron thinks a December review cycle is fine; Jenny calls it the hidden drag. Gartner says just one-third of employees talk to their manager about performance at least monthly. The fix: a 15-minute monthly 1:1 with goals, blockers and feedback each way. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yZmP1vyU5-k 33 2026-10-11T12:02:43+00:00 yes https://ashtaherian.net/videos/algorithms-are-replacing-corporate-intuition/ 2026-10-06 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7DOA6SXr8Go/maxresdefault.jpg Algorithms are replacing corporate intuition (20-minute deep dive) A roughly 20-minute Jenny and Ron animated deep dive for People leaders on how algorithms are replacing gut feel in performance and talent decisions, comparing how HR platforms such as Leapsome, Personio and Revolut People join up goals, reviews and compensation planning. https://www.youtube.com/embed/7DOA6SXr8Go 1226 2026-10-06T02:04:07+00:00 yes
