The three primary options for what to evaluate in performance appraisals are traits, behaviors, and results. What are the pros and cons of measuring each of these options? As a manager, which option would you choose? Do you think your option would vary at all by employee, rank, or industry?

The paper should have a short introduction for context. Then, the body of the paper would be divided into three paragraphs. One paragraph each for the pros/cons of each of the three options. Wrap your paper up with a discussion of the option you would choose.
