Excellent guidance but many organizations and the supervising employees within them either do not conduct performance evaluations at all or if conducted don't do them in a way that identifies work plan goes, fairly evaluates past performance, positively grows employee performance, accurately sets objectives for correcting performance issues, and motivates high performers to continue to excel.

This book is full of examples and includes Q & A review questions at the end of each section. Very helpful in understanding the process of writing evaluations and setting goals. Reminds me keep goals Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-focused. (S.M.A.R.T.)

As a manager responsible for writing and performing employee reviews, I found this book to be well written and very useful. It was filled with ideas and sample scenarios which really helped to get my juices flowing and fine tune my review skills.
