Hey folks, Sarah here from Manager Tools coming at you with one more throwback podcast.

If you've been paying attention in the last few weeks in Career Tools and Manager Tools,

we've been re-releasing our series of podcasts on performance reviews.

We started with preparing performance reviews for managers of their directs, then preparing

your performance review,

and today we conclude with our final installment delivering the performance review.

We hope that this visit into a critically important topic helps you give and receive better

performance reviews this year. Not sure what to get for the professionals in your life this holiday season?

Give them something that lasts the gift of growth.

Our Manager Tools Memberships offer practical guidance and motivation for every stage of a career.

stress inducing for the people who are receiving it because the managers do it so poorly

and you know it goes back to something I told somebody a couple years ago Mike I call it the

Christmas rule which is anything that you do once a year that's really important to you like Christmas is going to be stressful.

Right.

You don't practice it.

Right.

Okay.
