Performance appraisals are tricky. I came across this nice article (#zine) from Julia Evans summarizing the list of things that you would need to discuss in your 1:1’s (performance appraisal) to make it effective. It is a very useful list that you can take along for almost all your discussions either it be your performance appraisal or weekly checkpoints with your managers. I wanted to capture this here to spread this to a larger group and for future reference.
I grouped them into three groups for you, (1) You share your details and provide updates (2) Ask for details that need (3) Work collaboratively to layout the future plan.
