Fearing performance reviews

Emphasize your accomplishments, not your relationships

When a performance review is coming up it's best to focus on making sure that your achievements are in the spotlight.

Connect with your boss genuinely

Studies show that people who have similarities with their bosses are more likely to be seen in a positive light. In addition to this, those who create "in-groups" disrupts team dynamics and make "outside" people unwelcome.

Another thing that can help you connect with your boss is to make them look good in meetings by building on their arguments or adding a helpful commentary instead of blindly agreeing. Conversely, don't air out disagreements with your boss with an audience.

There are two ways you can improve other people's perception of you:

  1. Emphasize opportunities whenever you recommend changing something. Put the spotlight on the gains of your proposal instead of the losses; or
  2. Whenever you're providing an idea, make sure to building or improving upon it instead of correcting their mistakes.

Attend social functions with a smile on your face

Sometimes we don't have it in us to go to that work event we're told to go to but think about it this way, the more frequently people see you during these social functions with a smile on your face the more you show how committed you are to the team for the long run.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
