The Problem

Appraisal conversations are the adult version of going unprepared for an exam. The person sits right in front of you, waiting for your verdict on their performance. Loss of words, sounding too harsh and beating around the bush are common problems.

Step in their shoes for a moment:​​

• For employees, it can be daunting to have their performance assessed, especially when there is a rating hovering over their heads as soon as they enter the room.

• For managers, it’s equally tough; they have to deliver feedback, justify ratings (sometimes with limited control over them), and navigate difficult emotions in the process.

If you are a leader who reflects on how to handle these conversations better, then here's a solution for you.
