| Overview: Most people at work like to know how well they're doing. When we're told we're doing a good job by someone whose opinion we respect, it makes the effort worthwhile. Nor do most of us mind when we look at the less successful areas of our work, especially if we believe that someone else is prepared to help us deal with them. However, when assessments are unilateral, judgmental and unfairly critical, the whole process of appraisal is undermined and may be destroyed. |
