Employees must always have their next move in mind. Performance is a key driver in making any quality move (internal or external) happen. As stated by Karen Otazo in her recent book The Truth About Being a Leader, Truth #4 states “The gaps in your work show up when you move up.” Performance reviews do more than uncover those gaps. In a down economy, a drowning industry, or changing fields, the greatest personal accounting tool has always been a performance review.
Immediately pointing to recent appraisals takes the blink out of making a decision. Include a W2 and you normally convince a Director, VP of Sales, Principle, and/or Recruiter the search is over. Scandals make headlines – promotions help you keep your promises. Read that again. Your regulatory system should absolutely include a documentation tool that measures and captures your performance.
It’s Monday — thank you — Let’s keep it Moving!
