How will you rate yourself? After a year, most of the employees will need to go through an appraisal activities to measure their performance for that year. Some will struggle and some will consider this as part of their job requirements. Being one of the appraiser is not an easy task. You are evaluating others and as someone who has a very high expectation towards others, your staffs may not be the best among others. After years of experience, I need to calibrate on how I viewing others - keep telling myself that everyone is doing their best at their own capabilities. Only then I'll not feeling frustrated with them and not blaming myself for not trained them better. Well, self blame is the easiest route to depression.
So, what are I'm looking for when assessing my team's performance? As a team, I believe everyone has done their job but now need to assess them individually. So, my comments to them when we having one-to-one sessions earlier were, what is the outcomes of your KPI and how well you differentiate yourself from others? Why am asking this? I want them to really look into their contributions to the team success and avoid free rider from this team. Maybe this is not the right way to do things but when you are dealing with the group of people who are really love to take other people credit, then you need to be strict with them because sometimes, not necessarily those loud people is the ones that do the job.
