Performance Appraisal and Review Skills

Most of us dread the prospect of performance reviews, both as reviewers and as employees whose work is being reviewed. But really, they don’t have to be torture. If you are the manager whose job it is to lead those reviews, the tone they take is entirely within your control. Performance review done well is an opportunity for a reset and a fresh start on a new period of performance. Instead of a stressful experience of judgment and copping to failure, they can be a way to affirm and acknowledge all the growth and progress made the period before and an exciting opportunity to start with a clean slate for the period just ahead. They are an opportunity for the manager to solidify relationship with the team, one person at a time, and build trust.
