Customer Reviews

A Good Read!

If you were designing the curriculum for a class called Introduction to Performance Evaluation, this book would be your text. If, on the other hand, you're in the market for some original ideas and groundbreaking employee-evaluation strategies, this may not be the book for you. Karen McKirchy uses simple language in her guided tour of performance-appraisal basics. If you're an experienced supervisor, you may find the whole thing just a tad too simplistic. But for less seasoned managers, this book is a treasure trove of tips that will make evaluating the performance of your direct reports much more productive, easier and less painfull. We [...] recommend this book to supervisors wishing to improve their ability to motivate and evaluate employees through performance appraisals, particularly supervisors with less than five years experience.

Powerful Performance Appraisals

Excellent samples of how to use phrases correctly when laying out work expectations and performance improvement. Some very helpful checklist have been included for the reader as well as simple action plan formats. Most important is the book is written in a user friendly manner and does not get bogged down in excess verbage.
