Remember:
A performance appraisal is a formal discussion
between a direct report and a supervisor, for the
purpose of discovering how and why the direct
report is presently performing on the job, and
how the direct report can perform more
effectively in the future, so that the direct report,
the supervisor, and the university all benefit.
And Finally
These interpersonal skills have a significant bearing on
performance discussions:
Be specific and focus on behavior
Build and maintain self-esteem
Solve problems jointly
Listen actively
Be compassionate
Probe for understanding
Positively reinforce desired behaviors
