We shouldn't be encouraging idiot CEOs to do virtual shoulder-tapping. All the CEO's I've reported never needed to ask "Hey, so... how's it going..." because my

  I don't think whether or not people are "delivering" is the question. Consider the context of the messaging they've built into the site/app: "Rebecca brought in two new contracts." As a CEO, this makes me say "oh, no shit, I should send Rebecca a thank you or offer up a coffee for helping my business to grow." Or another example: "Luke is less active than usual." If this popped up a handful of times, I'd probably want to make sure Luke was taking enough time off for himself or wasn't coming down with a cold. For example, "hey man, looks like you're dipping off a bit, want to take the week off?" Again, it all comes down to the individual and how they use it. It's great that you're a powerhouse, but most people are not. Yes, it would be awesome if everyone was at peak performance all day everyday, but it's not realistic. Anyone who expects that is a bit crazy in my book. I think what's presented here is confusing because it invites the opportunity to be a human instead of a robotic airhead who's obsessed with productivity. I'd say the majority of people out there today are too caught up in the game of life to realize that "employee" is just another way to describe "person who happens to work for/with me."
