So many people dread the annual performance appraisal discussion. Particularly when the employee’s performance is questionable.
To get your managers ready to deal with employee objections, it helps if they are familiar with the ‘faces’ they're likely going to encounter on the other side of the desk. Once they are comfortable with the most common personas employees will morph into when defending themselves managers will be better equipped to overcome the objections and get to what's real: engaging the employee for increased performance.
