Summary

In this week’s Five Minute Friday, Ashley Alderson reveals the missing link that might be holding your business back—employee reviews.

If you’ve ever said “kids these days don’t work like they used to,” this episode will challenge that mindset and give you tools to lead better. Learn how to coach your team like a basketball coach, set clear goals, and raise leaders—not leavers.

When your employees feel seen, heard, and supported, they become leaders in your business—not leavers. Employee reviews aren’t just a formality—they’re the key to building a confident, empowered, and high-performing team.

Key Takeaways:

  • The 3-question framework for stay interviews

  • Why your team needs to know “the score of the game”

  • How EOS and quarterly reviews bring focus and accountability

  • How feedback conversations can unlock growth and buy-in

Because when your team wins—you win.

Hey, guys, it's me on Five Minute Friday, and I'm here to talk about what I think is the missing

0:05.8

link in your business. If you have an employee and if you're of the mindset that kids these

0:10.8

days just don't work as hard as they used to, which how many times have we heard that and actually

0:15.2

probably how many times we said that? Yes, there's issues with kids today. They're different.

0:19.9

They are not who we are. They're not how we were raised, but different isn't necessarily bad. And so I want to challenge you today if you're having any kind of employee troubles or you feel like you're stalled or you're stagnant or you're just needing your team to be more on board.

with us or not. Sarah Brooks always says on our team, are you raising leaders and not levers?

1:15.9

And I think one of the most important steps in order to get there is continually having reviews

1:21.2

or stay in interviews, as we call them, to make sure that your employees feel seen, heard, understood,

and that's because I love basketball, Sarah loves basketball.

1:39.5

And employer reviews are your opportunity to coach your team, just like a basketball coach would.
