What questions should you ask your manager during a performance review? In other words, what questions should an employee ask during a performance review? Many people approach a performance review with a passive attitude. They expect their manager to be the only one asking questions. However, if you want to appear proactive and career-focused, you need to prepare questions to ask your manager during your performance review.

The type of questions you ask should fall into four main categories: overall performance, areas for improvement, future prospects, and company insights. Basing your performance review questions on these four categories will ensure that you ask a good range of questions that will impress your manager.

Because that's what the end of the performance review is all about: impressing your boss with smart questions so you get promoted. In this video, I'll give you 12 ideas for smart questions to ask at your next performance review.

Watch this video to better prepare for your upcoming performance review!
