I have managed people in the military and business world for over 10 years, couseling over 100 people, numerous times. Yet this book contains smart advice and techniques that I have not used in the past that I will definitely reference for my next round of evals. Additionally, the compact size makes it an easy reference to tote around so you can pick phrases /page numbers for employees while at lunch, on the train or on the go. This book will definitely save me time.

Review time comes with mixed emotions, you want to be able to give your employees feedback, but you don't want to take them away from the things they are receving feedback. This book gives you many of the tools to help make performance reviews quick and easy. I was amazed by how many of the thoughts I had were already written out for me in this handbook. A must have for those looking to make reviews easier.
