On this CE-approved re-release of Articles On-The-Go, tune in for leadership insights on handling annual reviews in your Sterile Processing department: "As with everything else you do as a leader, you are always teaching with your actions.

Yes, more than likely you will have to give low performance reviews. And most of you will have at least a few technicians that highly exceed expectations.
