6 best
ways to prepare for your NEXT APPRAISAL…
1.
Firstly pen down what you want to communicate during appraisal
meeting. Data and information helps, but it needs to be presented in clear and
concise manner. Too much of it can distract the manager from one's key
achievements.
2.
Consider projects or tasks you have worked on, across the
year. Also add projects or tasks which you were supposed to work on but could
not complete to the standards expected. A way forward from your side, on those,
will be seen in a positive light by your manager.
3.
Be honest and objective about your own achievements,
skills, commitment to work and your interaction with others. Being pompous or
overtly modest won't help.
4.
Avoid generalised or ambiguous language to articulate
your strengths or development areas. Think of at least one example from
day-to-day work, which illustrates your point of view. Identify areas in your
skills where you genuinely need help.
5.
It is important to keep in mind the manager and the
context in which he operates during appraisal discussion. The manager is often
expected to toggle between a role of a judge and that of a coach, during the
appraisal process.
6.
Before the appraisal discussion, also think about a
feedback for manager in a balanced and constructive manner. While listening to
the feedback from manager it is important not to 'react' but to 'respond'
appropriately.
Besides, it is
also important to understand that in most organizations, appraisal is not an
absolute but a relative process and therefore your final performance rating is
not just a reflection of how you have contributed, but also how others have.
