Why Performance Reviews Fail

Performance review anxiety disorder – the cure for managers and employees

The dreaded performance review. They make you and your employees uncomfortable. As a result, you both leave the process feeling like you drank a flat soda. You know, that "eh" feeling.

It's not your fault, though. Done right, performance reviews go from stressful annual obligations to a constructive two-way conversation that benefits you, your employees and the company. So, why do performance reviews fail?

Two reasons – the wrong mindset and lack of a step-by-step approach that makes the process smooth and productive, not a punishing task.
