Course overview
A useful review takes shape well before the meeting, in the dated notes a manager keeps for each employee. Gathering those notes in one place reveals patterns, pairs feedback with specific examples, and surfaces the few themes worth raising. Evidence then anchors the conversation, strengths and development areas each get their due, and the employee leaves with next steps to act on.
