LESSON 15
Annual appraisals: What about the highlights?

Sean: OK, let’s start with a couple of the downs, if you like, the less satisfactory areas for you.

Carrie: Yeah, I’ve had a few problems with other team members, I am feeling a bit ...that I am not getting a lot of support and that’s caused a few problems.

Sean: OK. I think, I think that’s important that we look at what we can do to resolve that situation. What about the highlights?

Carrie: Obviously, the big thing that’s happened this year is the new finance system that’s been introduced...

Sean: ...sure...

Carrie: ...and I just feel that, you know, I am coming to terms with it now and beginning to cope with it, which is good.

Sean: Yeah, that is certainly something that I would have picked out. I think that you have managed particularly well over the past few months, I’d certainly like to congratulate you for the way you handled that.
