The Art of Writing A Good Self Assessment and Performance Review
Performance review season can be intimidating. How do you boil down your annual performance into a written form? This HBR article has some useful tips including reviewing your calendar to make sure you don't forget things from earlier in the year and focusing on your significant accomplishments instead of simply listing tasks.
We just did performance reviews with our full team and one question I asked everyone to share was an idea that could help our company be more successful in 2024. I also asked what professional development activities they would do to improve their own skills personally. The first question was aimed at making us better as a team, while the other was aimed at making them better as individuals.
If you're doing a cycle of these reviews either as a leader or an employee, these are two important elements to consider. After all, isn't the point to make sure both the company and the people inside it continue to get better in the coming year?
