Handling the Difficult Performance Appraisal

How do your managers feel about giving performance appraisals? If the answers range from “pointless exercise” to “worst nightmare”, Let's TALK will change their minds. The T.A.L.K. approach (Tell it like you see it; Ask for feedback; Lead toward a solution; Keep at it) makes appraisals easier and more effective, keeping the focus on work-related issues, not on personalities. Dramatic examples demonstrate techniques that help managers communicate expectations effectively and encourage top performers to do even better.
