Done right, a performance review is one of the best opportunities to encourage and support high performers and constructively improve your middle- and lower-tier workers.
I'm so thankful for the Internet because actors and singers and performers now have a way to connect with their fans on a very personal level which I think is quite special.
Roman Reigns is, if not the best, one of the best performers in the world, hands down.
I believe chemistry is based on the trust between two performers. What actually works is something intangible - being extremely comfortable in each other's presence.
Vanity is normal in performers. Does it bother other people? All the time. But nine times out of 10, that says more about them than you.
I was always obsessed with other performers doing their thing, and Britney 'Live in Las Vegas' from 2001 is my absolute favorite tour DVD of all time.
When I went on to write my next book, Working With Emotional Intelligence, I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills.
We, performers, work on willpower. This willpower works in a short term, not durational.
Performers have the right to say what they want to, and anyone paying money has the right to accept or reject the art and entertainment that's available.
Street performers, homemade crafts, keep your wallet in your front pocket and don't buy any crap!
Pop songs are not as graceful as they used to be. Performers today haven't gone through the regimen of learning how to write. And of course, everyone wants to own copyrights.
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
Something very rare in this day and age is to see performers do something that has never been done before.
I think that we have a unique opportunity as performers and artists to be kind of the town criers and also to get more people to listen, so that's a blessing and a responsibility that I take very seriously.
There are performers who have built their whole career doing magic on TV and can't really perform live at all - don't really have jobs and skills.
Honestly, I just love great performers and people who love what they do.
At the upper echelon of musicians in general, I guess performers in general, you have to have this kind of live-or-die, cutthroat mentality.
Radio continues to be the very best advertising music performers have. No one who ever grabbed a Grammy got there without radio.
I feel that the work that I have done in the comedy arena, is priceless in terms of what I learned, timing, everything that these incredibly talented performers were generous enough in teaching me.
I'm just grateful to have a job. There are an awful lot of talented performers out there who are out of work.
I love music that has good catchy choruses and fits into many different genres. ... I like real artists, that write their own material and are great performers.
Performers are the neediest people in the world. Unless you've been in that goldfish bowl - nobody can judge unless they've worn those shoes.
If you don't get feedback from your performers and your audience, you're going to be working in a vacuum.
Canada has given us John Candy and Martin Short and Bill Shatner and Lord knows how many other wonderful performers.
There's a lot that goes into training, singers to eventually become performers. There's, projection, uh, which in many cases the artist was never concerned about.
I always go in with the feeling that I'm gonna have a good time in what I'm doing. I entertain myself when I perform. If I do that, then I can see the other performers enjoying my character.
When designing a workout program for high level performers, factors such as body type, previous training experience, and even pain tolerance come into play.
We're not very confident performers, and if we don't get a laugh we get insecure.
Circuses don't treat their 'performers' very well - whipping them, trying to make them terrified.
Great performers in all fields seem immune to what outsiders think about them. Their sense of themselves never depends on the feedback-positive or negative-they get from the environment.
Ignorance and arrogance are a lethal combination. Nowhere do we see that more clearly among writers and performers who pontificate as historians when they know nothing about history.
Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm, where it's OK to fail - a kind of home, I suppose.
They don't fund the arts enough and they so often take words and music for granted and performers for granted - particularly women.
It's been a continuity right from the beginning - that longing to weave together perceptions, to affirm the richness of us as human beings both as performers and audience members.
That raw connection between the two performers is something you can't fully plan. You just go with it and get lost in that moment and feed off of each other.
Whitney Houston and Ella Fitzgerald are my musical mothers. I learned everything I know about true R&B, pop and jazz singing from these stunning performers and unparalleled musicians.
Almost all of the world-class athletes and other peak performers are visualizers. They see it; they feel it; they experience it before hey actually do it. They begin with the end in mind.
I'm thinking in terms of a point of departure, a field of action for performers to express an expressive need of mine which hopefully the context of music would convey.
I think that standup has always been an acquired taste and there was always only a handful of performers that were really inspired.
I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
The most evocative thing to me is probably when a writer and a group of performers can collectively put together something compelling that asks the really simple question: 'How do we live?'
Whether it's a song you write or a television show or a movie or professional wrestling, there are three components to IP law. There is publishing, there are writers, and there are performers. The publisher is always the owner.
Peak performers develop powerful mental images of the behavior that will lead to the desired results. They see in their mind's eye the result they want, and the actions leading to it.
Johnny Depp, as far as I'm concerned, is number one. Of his generation, there's no one who can touch him. Some performers, today, it's like looking at holes in the air.
While I don't script and I don't use other performers, I think my taste for underlying precision gives me something in common with Allan and George Brecht.
I've discovered that numerous peak performers use the skill of mental rehearsal of visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen.
Music never dies. Do we really need another Madonna tour? Does she have to compete with women performers 25 years her junior?
Some people are probably saner. They're good performers, and they go about their day. I just get obsessive about it.
There are few performers who would have had the audacity to even bring up the fact that they had been poorly reviewed.
Impact has some of the most exciting wrestlers and performers and some of the greatest people in our industry.
I love hearing positive things; somewhere, way deep down, I'm sure I'm an egomaniac. I guess all performers are, in a way.
People react differently to puppets than they do to human performers: they become more playful, more open.
I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act, so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.
I started working in music very young, I was raised by a family of musicians and performers, so I guess it was more second nature than making an actual decision.
There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
When you have great performers and have set your movie in the right direction, it's a beautiful privilege to let the camera watch the action unfold without spoken words.
I'm one of the most popular cabaret performers, and I don't sing a note. And nobody expects me to sing.
I've said it before, that I think if we can have any woman from any other background to come into the WWE, it makes it better for the performers.
I think one of the most wonderful things we can do as performers is to remind audiences that they can still relate to the emotions and feelings, as though the music had been written yesterday.
Nowadays, performers worry too much about how they look. They're not concerned about what they're really saying to their audience.
