Performance reviews don’t have to be just about KPIs and deliverables. You can use them to reflect and create a positive atmosphere.
Borrowed from Garry A. Bolles’ book “The Next Rules of Work”:
💡 “Imagine it’s the end of 2025, and you’ve crushed it. What is the one thing that contributed most to your success?”
This question can lead to an interesting discussion and support a growth mindset. You might be surprised by the answers you’ll get and find out you have a significant role in your team member’s path to success.

One great question you want to ask during performance review

If someone asked me this in a PR, my response would be “showing up”.

Such a thoughtful perspective! 🙌
This question not only encourages self-reflection but also aligns team goals with personal growth. It’s amazing how focusing on the ‘big picture’ can foster a culture of collaboration and shared success.
Definitely adding this to my performance review toolkit! 💼✨

How does one decide if “you’ve crushed it” this year?
