Performance Appraisals: At one time or another we all may receive a performance appraisal. Reflect back on one of your particularly memorable performance appraisals and how it was conducted. 1. If this was a poorly conducted appraisal, what made it so? 2. How did you feel after it was over? 3. What would you change to have made this a positive experience? If this was a well-conducted appraisal, what made it positive? 4. If you were a manager or Director, what aspects of the appraisal would you use in conducting a performance appraisal on employees?
