Work

January 30, 2023

Use this guide whenever you need to give feedback to someone. The performance reviews list below is a great source of inspiration for highlighting performance and personality specifics.

“Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots.”
– Frank A. Clark

Start Here

Be as specific as possible with examples.
Be honest, but not cruel.
When giving negative feedback:
- Be sure to give it in a timely fashion. Don’t “hold onto” feedback for weeks or months. Deal with the issue as it arises.
- Be kind and patient.
- Give clear examples and actions they can take to improve (see list below)

Speak with me in person (not by leaving a voicemail message) when you need time off	Feedback Goals; Needs Improvement	Reliability
It’s clear you’re excited about the project. But sometimes, when you get excited, you don’t leave room for others to bring their ideas to the table. In particular, I noticed that you spoke over David and Muriel several times throughout the meeting. Did you notice this, too?	Example	Communication and Cooperation
In a group setting, I’d like you to make space for others in conversations and meetings. It’s a necessary skill for your career development and helps utilize the full talents of the team. What do you think?	Example	Communication and Cooperation
I really appreciated how you kept me up to date on X project this week — it helped me coordinate with our stakeholders, and I’m excited to share that we’re on track to launch. It’s also great to see your process. I’m impressed with the efficiencies you’re introducing.	Example	Creativity and Innovation
I’m curious about where we are with Y project. If any issues have come up, it’s best that I know as soon as possible so I can help you get back on target. How about you shoot me daily updates just so I know where we are?	Example	Time Management
I can’t help but notice that this is the third deadline that’s caught up to you this month. I understand this is a fast-paced environment, and I think you’d be more effective if we rethought your time management strategies.”	Example	Time Management
Thanks for letting me know you’re running behind schedule on this project. Let’s take a look at your goalsand see how you’re spending your time — I bet there are opportunities for efficiencies there.	Example	Time Management
It’d be great to see you take on fewer projects, or narrow your focus to be more attainable. What do you think?	Example	Time Management
Your work on X, Y and Z were solid, valuable accomplishments this quarter. I know you didn’t complete every goal you set, and that’s okay — it’s great to see you reach high. But I recognize that it can be discouraging, too. So let’s take this opportunity to rethink your goals moving forward.	Example	Time Management
You know I’ve always appreciated your grasp of our larger vision, and it’s great that you see big-picture. But you’ve missed out on some smaller details in your last few projects, like X and Y. Unfortunately, that ultimately set the team back because they had to correct those oversights.	Example	Quality
I’d love for you to keep that big-picture vision while working on those little blind spots. For your next project, let’s put together a detailed checklist of all your deliverables to make sure you don’t miss anything. Give it a shot, then let’s follow up and reassess from there.	Example	Quality
Hey, I noticed you weren’t in our last few morning meetings. I’m concerned that you may have missed some important information and that it will be difficult for other team members to sync up with you. I’d like to take the time to go over what you missed now. Then, let’s work out a plan together, so this doesn’t continue to happen in the future.	Example	Reliability
You did a fantastic job collaborating with your team last week, but I worry that you may have derailed Howie by seeking his help with X. I’ve seen you work, and I’m confident that if you’d thought about it a little longer, you could have come up with a solution on your own. I know you can do it. Do you believe you can?	Example	Communication and Cooperation
It’d be great to see you tap into your resourcefulness and apply it to problem-solving before reaching out to others. Try sitting with an issue for 5 minutes before you reach out to anybody else. If this doesn’t work, check in with me and we can come up with a solution.	Example	Adaptability
I wanted to check in and see how things are going. You don’t seem to be quite as engaged at work lately — is there something I can do to help you get back on track? I’d like to keep you happy here. Let’s set a time to review your goals and responsibilities and make sure we’re on the same page.	Example	Attitude
I’m glad we’re taking the time to check-in. I feel like you haven’t been as happy at work lately. How do you feel? Is there something I can do to help you have a better experience here?	Example	Attitude
I appreciate your input. When you have an issue, it’s helpful for the team and me if you share it with me so I can address it. That’s a positive, productive move. If you talk to your teammates about your issues, I can’t help you solve them, which creates an atmosphere of negativity.	Example	Attitude
I know there are a lot of rumors flying around about X, and I know you’re concerned about it. I value your trust and contributions here, so I’d like to set the record straight and explain what I can.	Example	Communication and Cooperation
I understand your feelings, and I know it’s frustrating when you feel your questions aren’t being answered. In the future, though, please bring your concerns directly to me. When you share them with your teammates, it creates a company culture of fear and negativity without providing answers.	Example	Communication and Cooperation
Hey, I wanted to check-in and see how you felt about your work this week. Samika mentioned that you used a sarcastic tone with her in a meeting and it made her uncomfortable. We need to be able to function as a team, and I was hoping to hear your side of the story to see if everything is okay.	Example	Communication and Cooperation
This morning you left our team meeting early. I could tell you were frustrated by the discussion, but walking out on your teammates doesn’t show them the same respect they show you during the conflict. How can we find a solution moving forward?	Example	Communication and Cooperation
