Are you carrying the weight of poor performance on your team? As the year winds down, it’s time to get honest: are your employees aligned with the skills, attitudes, and behaviors your business needs to thrive? The end of the year is the perfect time to take stock, reassess, and make changes that set you up for success in the year ahead. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy dives into the power of a year-end team audit, breaking down how to evaluate where your team stands and what needs to shift.

Kris challenges leaders to stop tolerating misalignment and start addressing the tough questions. Are the people you’ve hired still the right fit? Are they delivering results, or are you carrying the burden of their shortcomings? She shares practical strategies to assess team dynamics, identify gaps, and figure out whether further investment in your team’s skills will pay off.

This episode also highlights the role of feedback in building a thriving team culture. “People need to know if they’re winning or losing,” Kris insists. By fostering open communication and clear expectations, you can create a culture where everyone understands their role, their impact, and their path to success. Join Kris as she provides the tools and insights you need to realign your team, elevate performance, and start the new year with confidence.
