How NOT to do it

# Chapter 265

Talk to everyone about their personal goals and how you can help them be successful. - Masterminds

My daughter is a highly motivated and very accomplished professional. She just had her annual review. What a disaster. Not because my daughter is a disaster, because the leaders are a disaster. First of all they only used the template my daughter’s boss had been compiling. The boss that they just fired!! Yeah that incompetent boss you just fired because she was incompetent! And you are using her vicious vitriol against my kid, against any of your employee’s, in 2022? Seriously? The one and only documented tick against my kid, was “you left work 15 minutes early once.” ONCE! In a whole YEAR! And it was because her hubby had COVID, she had to get the meds for him from the Pharmacy and then pick up the baby from the sitter, and ALL HER WORK WAS COMPLETED FOR THE DAY. This was the ONE tick documented in a whole year. (Let it be noted that said daughter did not take any personal days or miss any days of work for the entire year) While there are reams of patients and co-workers who have a much better life because of my daughter and her investment in them, did any of that come up in the review? Not. One. Single. Word. This is a model in how NOT to do an annual review. I am just getting started!

But I am going to stop because you of course, would never do this. If you were the kind of person or leader who do this, then you would not be reading this document right now. This space is dedicated to helping people do 10,000 times better than my daughter’s company did, each and every day. It is pretty astonishing that these things still happen, but they do. Just let’s make sure not to us or ours.
