9.2 THE SKILLS YOU NEED TO BE A GREAT BOSS: Getting Real Results From Performance Reviews

(SHORT NOTES FROM TEAM MANAGEMENT: Performance Management at http://www.mindtools.com)
 
Performance appraisals are a dreaded meeting where you have to tell your people what you really think of them.  People’s performance is critical to an organization's success.  We often fail to monitor their progress on a regular basis.

For most organizations, people genuinely are "their most important assets".  You need to look after your people if you want to get the best from them.
Benefits of conducting regular performance appraisals
Detect and eliminate barriers to effective performance.
Pick up dissatisfactions that would otherwise lead people to leave.
Focus people's efforts in the right direction.
Motivate people to work towards important goals.
Help them develop skills and competencies necessary to achieve future objectives.
Celebrate their successes.

Purpose of Performance Appraisals
Traditionally, top-down, subjective judgments of an employee's performance
can help to build an open, positive, collaborative relationship between individuals and their managers
provide a useful forum for giving feedback about what has gone well, or not so well
"punctuation points," where you can look back together at progress towards existing goals, discuss and solve any related problems, and celebrate particular achievements
