About this episode
The episode provides tips and techniques for completing performance appraisals effectively.
If you are a leader, manager, or supervisor, it is likely that you are required and responsible for the completion of performance appraisals for your direct reports. I (Eric) must admit that completing appraisals, be they in the US Army or in civilian life, was not my favorite task to accomplish. The podcast gets into some tips, techniques and even some “wording” that you might consider using as you prepare for, write and then deliver performance appraisals for your staff. Trust me, you will learn a thing or two.
