Where do most companies go first when they want better leaders? Training.

Yet Mike says it’s the least effective piece...

“They immediately go to training. So they’re going to pick out the piece that’s only 10% effective.”

So what works better for leader development?

Real experience on the job plus feedback like coaching and good performance reviews make up the other 90%.

And on the mid-2010s trend of dropping annual performance reviews, Mike says: “That was not a good idea.”

Here’s how to run them right, in our latest blog, “Annual Performance Reviews Still Matter (When Done Right)”: https://hubs.la/Q04Cd2HM0

All organizations want the same thing: great outcomes from great people.

Yet so many put it on autopilot and cross their fingers that it all works out.

Like anything in life, there’s no “secret success” button. It takes intention.

The companies that win usually have one thing in common: they invest in their people on purpose. They don’t shake a magic 8-ball and hope for the best.

Better leaders don’t just appear. Someone has to coach them, teach them, and mentor them along the way.

The good news is you don’t have to do it alone, or even know where to start. That’s why Hoops exists. From coaching and leadership training to hiring the right people in the first place, we help you invest in your team on purpose.

Raises, bonuses, and reviews are right around the corner. And Gallup found that 74% of employees get a performance review once a year or less. So when you do give one, it needs to count.

In our latest blog, “Annual Performance Reviews Still Matter (When Done Right)”, we cover:

- Who decides the raise (and who just recommends it)
- What leaders, managers, and HR each own
- How to say no without losing your best people

Happy 1-year Hoopsiversary to Shiela Ocat! 🎉

As Executive Assistant to our President & COO, Mike Dixon, Shiela keeps Mike’s world running smoothly, and honestly, the rest of ours too. She’s the first to jump in when something comes up, and she has saved the day more times than we can count.

She’s organized, kind, easy to work with, and always happy to help. Much of what she does happens behind the scenes, and we don’t always stop to say thank you enough. Shiela, we see everything you do for our team and our clients, and we’re so grateful to have you at Hoops.

Here’s to year two! 💙

“You’ve got to protect your brand. And I don’t think enough employers pay attention to that.”

Mike Dixon’s point is that candidates you never hire still walk away with an opinion of you, and a lot of them share it online.

How you treat people in the process becomes a big part of your employer reputation. And that reputation gets picked up by AI too.

Not sure how yours looks online?

Our latest blog, “What Candidates (and AI) Find When They Look You Up,” has a quick DIY test to see if your employer brand is telling the story you want candidates to hear:

If a candidate looked up your company right now, would you like what they found?

Plenty of leaders have never checked. And now candidates are asking ChatGPT and Gemini what it’s like to work at your company too, so an old review or an outdated profile can end up telling the whole story.

Our latest blog, “What Candidates (and AI) Find When They Look You Up,” covers where people look, why reviews matter so much, and a 30-minute test you can run this week to see exactly what they see.

Before you post a skilled trades job, do you know how many other companies are hiring for the same role, and what they’re paying?

With reshoring pulling more work back to North America, skilled trades talent is only getting harder to win. Knowing the right package to offer (not too high or too low) is a big part of that.

Our latest blog covers how to define the role, build your pipeline early, and hire faster than the bigger companies you’re up against:
