It really helps you think about the performance of your direct reports and to articulate it clearly. I appreciate the way the book is laid out too - very helpful "goals" section helps you give constructive feedback to your employees. This book literally sits open on my desk as I write each review. 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews I would definitely recommend this book. I am presently involved in developing a template for a new Performance Appraisal for my company. The performance phrases in this book helped me define the guidlines for how to rate a performance in our work environment. Good reference book to have around.  for more information click here Specific, actionable and measurable reviews. This is definitely a practical and usable book. A very good starting point for designing and writing performance reviews, especially with its wide scope of job types, and generous lists of example phrases for providing feedback and setting goals. I won't say it's perfect (despite rating it with 5 stars), because I think users of the book need to be aware that no off-the-shelf solution can work in every situation. Using this book shouldn't be about "copy and paste" but about conscious selection, finetuning and design. That said, the majority of the phrases provided are very specific, actionable and measurable (very importantly). Paul provides a great model and great direction in an area that way too often is fraught with subjectivity, bias, poor judgement and fear.  for more information click here 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews Excellent tool for assisting managers with written comments on the performance reviews they are required to do on their employees. It especially helps managers with new phrases for employees they have been reviewing for years. Not a bad book. This book was helpful, but not as much as I'd hoped. It would be best for someone new to writing reviews. reviews: 1, page 2, 3 products you might be interested in search for books phrases for, effective, performance, phrases, ready-to-use, results      toavi.com    web randomly chosen book: Ninja Volume 6: Secret Scrolls of the Warrior Sage (Ninja)
