Lora - That is VERY helpful. Thanks for adding your thoughts.

David - E-mail, when used as a tool, is great. When used as a crutch, it's terrible. I'll share more about this soon.

I’m not sure where to post this tbh :P . I know people are real edgy with all the blog spam etc. I use to run a blog myself, so I’m aware of the work you actually do to keep this up :D . Anyway point is I thought I’d try and put something back into the community so I’ve written a little plugin folks might like. You can find it if you click through to my website. If you don’t like it just delete this comment. Thanks for your time.

Phil,

And so many people think email is wasted effort.

I appreciate how you used email and other variables to weave together a helpful performance review.

Hi Phil! Great post! Here's one more step that I used to build into the performance review planning process. Basically it's a frame of reference for giving specific feedback.

As I reviewed my files for the past year (like you mentioned above), these are the triggers I used (in my mind) for making notes for the written review:

Accomplishments Keep doing Start doing Stop doing Do more Do less Do differently

This process helped me be very specific, and in turn helped the team members know exactly where to focus.

Hope it helps!

Lora
