Purpose Of Performance Reviews
- Performance reviews exist because humans are bad at giving regular feedback without structure.
- Reviews memorialize feedback for growth, goals, and future accountability.
Make Feedback Specific And Actionable
- Give feedback that is specific, behavioral, and actionable so the person can change it.
- Include why the feedback matters to motivate adoption and direction.
Match Feedback Medium To The Person
- Ask how your direct report prefers to receive feedback and use that medium first.
- Follow the written or face-to-face delivery with the other medium and schedule a discussion.
