5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book! Just what I needed., July 13, 2005

By	LC "SPHR" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

As soon as my book arrived, I started flipping through the pages reading a few of the phrases on each when I realized this book is exactly what I need. I've been putting off my own performance review for several months now (yeah, I work for a manager - the CEO - who is very bad at completing performance reviews). As if writing an effective performance review isn't a daunting enough task, for me at least, it's ten times more difficult when it's my own performance I have to rate. I'm my own worst critic and this book is going to help me be more objective. Every page contains relevant phrases that I know I'll use over and over again. This will become an integral part of my HR Toolset! P.S. - I stayed up past midnight & completed my performance review. It was a breeze!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great tool, January 3, 2006

By	LJ - See all my reviews

I think this book is just great. It really helps you think about the performance of your direct reports and to articulate it clearly. I appreciate the way the book is laid out too - very helpful "goals" section helps you give constructive feedback to your employees. This book literally sits open on my desk as I write each review.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews, January 15, 2007

By	C. Stamm "stamster" (Northwest Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would definitely recommend this book. I am presently involved in developing a template for a new Performance Appraisal for my company. The performance phrases in this book helped me define the guidlines for how to rate a performance in our work environment. Good reference book to have around.
