I read thoughts on appraisal recently. https://upajap.wordpress.com/2016/03/01/appraisal-time-90s/
Appraisal is assessment mostly from external world. It can
be just from your boss or it can be his compulsion from his boss’ thoughts. Mostly
90% are unhappy about the assessment. While communicating I put caveat that
person should understand this is external judgment for his performance/capability
for certain period of time and may not be 100% representative of correct state
of individual. For me, I kind of
discount it and search for feedback through the discussion.
Feedback is mostly important. Unfortunately it is looking
back in past. They say STAR model of feedback is good. If it is used it will
help the person who is receiving the gift (feedback). They also talk about
Feed-forward. I think this is important.
Obviously rule we assume that intentions are good while both
rating & feedback. If the relationship needs improvement, there may be
question on this aspect of the whole process. Trust is important parameter, is
a foundation. If foundation is weak all other things – goal setting, feedback,
ratings, opportunities etc comes under question.
One has to power his/her Career. Career is much more than
rating OR feedback for a span of time. Are you really working on Powering your
Career?
Finally powering you life is most important thing for your
life, are you active in this area? Refer to few thoughts I had on powering your
