4.0 out of 5 stars Odd, yet incrediubly useful reference, October 1, 2007

Neil Kimber "www.talentquest.com" (Atlanta, GA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Performance Appraisal Phrase Book: The Best Words, Phrases, and Techniques for Performance Reviews (Paperback)

When you are lacking inspiration for detailing the successes or failures of your direct reports this handy reference book provides a vast library of useful phrases that can be used on performance appraisals. The phrases are nicely organised into key competencies with 3 levels (exceeds, meets, does not meet) of grading. Each competency also has listed a number of key verbs and nouns.
Although it can be argued that this type of book can devalue the feedback given in performance reviews, it can also help to prevent the reviewer from writer's block and falling back onto a few stock phrases.
The biggest criticism I have is that the book does not contain a concise index to all of the competencies. You have to browse the whole book to discover and find specific competencies.

S. Keegan (Ga USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Performance Appraisal Phrase Book: The Best Words, Phrases, and Techniques for Performance Reviews (Paperback)

Compared to some similar books I have read, this book has better phases to use on performance reviews along with key verbs and nouns for each "area" of an employee's review. When choosing a rating for an employee in a specific area it also helped to review the statements described in the book to have a consistent measure to judge performance.
