performance management

Performance management is the supervision and oversight of employees, departments, and organizations with the objective of seeing that milestones and objectives are reached in an efficient and effective manner.
We've implemented performance management in the call center by setting goals and KPI's for each team member which will be reviewed as part of their appraisal process.

Performative Dissonance

The artistic technique or emotional state where a piece of music, art, or a person displays a contradiction between the external appearance and the internal reality — without openly acknowledging it. In music, it refers to the contrast between energetic, upbeat melodies or performative confidence and lyrics that express vulnerability, insecurity, or pain. The juxtaposition reflects the emotional façade people often put on, hiding their true feelings behind a mask of positivity or strength. The key element is that the performance does not break the fourth wall — the song or performance never directly acknowledges the dissonance, instead allowing it to exist in the tension between sound and meaning.
1. Olivia Rodrigo's "Brutal" is a classic example of performative dissonance — the loud, confident sound masks the anxiety and frustration she’s feeling.

2. The song had an overwhelming sense of performative dissonance, where the upbeat rhythm clashed with the loneliness in the lyrics.

Performative men

Men who visibly engage in activities to demonstrate their masculinity by paradoxically doing things that are distinctly viewed as traditionally emasculating.
“You see those performative men over there?”
“Yeah, the one with 3 Labubus clipped to his fanny pack and the buff one with red nail polish proudly carrying a protein shake and a copy of Sapiens like it’s the Bible?”

Performance diminishing drug

A drug that does the opposite of enhance performance, such as marijuana.
Someone from the other team told the guy that if he smoked ganja before the race, he would be more clearheaded, faster, stronger, and to his suprise, it took him most of the day to finish. Nobody told him that marijuana was a performance diminishing drug.
