We informally appraise each other all of the time. Yet when it comes to formally meeting to discuss performance, things seem to change. Barriers appear before, during, and after the appraisal which can destroy morale or even lead to a breakdown in communications, or worse. However people in every walk of life need feedback.
Excellent performers thrive on it as a spur to achieving higher goals.
Average performers need it to help them improve beyond a standard level. New staff or below par performers need it to achieve the minimum acceptable level. This programme shows you how to give positive feedback - even when there is some criticism required and turn every appraisal into a motivational exchange of views.
