If you are a new manager or leader, it is important that you learn how to conduct a performance appraisal with your employees. Performance appraisals or employee evaluations are an effective way to evaluate your employees' performance. You need to know this so that you can identify gaps in their skills and offer training or support to help them improve. It is also a good opportunity for you to learn directly from the employee about their motivations, career aspirations and goals.

Performance appraisals are an important part of your job as a manager and leader. To conduct them well and deliver a great performance appraisal (that your employees will love), you need to know the basics and learn the proven structure for conducting performance appraisals in the workplace.

In this video I show you how to prepare, conduct and follow up on a performance appraisal. Don't go into the performance appraisal without a plan or preparation. That is guaranteed to lead to disaster! You need to be structured and this video will help you do that.

Let's improve your leadership and management skills and learn how to conduct an excellent performance appraisal!
