Sample Negative Letter

From: Megan Palmer To: Inez AndersSubject: Performance valuation: !"le #ouston

Inez$

After revie%ing t&e performance evaluation and as'ing () of &is peers to re*ect

on &is performance$ I %ould li'e to recommend t&at !"le sta" in &is current position for

more e+perience and to illustrate &is leaders&ip s'ills, #is overall score on t&e

evaluation &ad a mean value of -,.- out of / but &is speci0c be&aviors and eac&

categor" &ad var"ing scores t&at led me to believe &e needs improvement before being

sent to 1allas,

#is &ig&est categor" score %as -,2/ in a range of -3/ in t&e contributing factor,

#e is ver" &elpful in o4ering up ideas and suggestions in meetings$ %&ic& &e

consistentl" attends, T&e meetings are ver" important to t&e compan" and attending

t&em is somet&ing t&at ever" emplo"ee s&ould strive to do, !"le is one emplo"ee t&at

sets an e+ample for ot&ers to s&o% t&e importance of t&ese meetings and &o% t&e" can

contribute and &ave t&eir voices &eard, #e also succeeds in meeting all deadlines in

contributing to t&e plans and %or' orders in t&e compan",

!"le also does %ell as a problem solver, #is score in t&e facilitation of group

problem solving %as a -,(2 in a range of 53/, T&oug& is a &ig&er score t&an could &ave

been evaluated$ it still s&o%s &e &as some %ea'ness in t&is department, #e does %ell in

as'ing 6uestions to get t&e discussions going and clarif"ing %&at &e7s as'ing in order to

'eep ever"one on topic, #e still needs to %or' on &is abilit" to give ot&ers t&e *oor and

let ot&er people contribute some ideas$ as &e is dominant in t&at aspect, #is evaluation

b" &is peers s&o%ed t&at &e encourages suggestions from ot&er team members$ but

also selects t&e criteria for evaluation of ideas$ %&ic& illustrates &is need to bac' do%n

and give ot&ers a c&ance to spea' up and be &eard,

#is lo%est rating in t&e evaluation %as in t&e listening categor"$ %it& a (,89 on ascale from 53/, T&oug& none of &is ratings %ere ver" lo%$ t&is one along %it& &is score

from t&e group categor" s&o% &e is not performing at &is best$ "et, #e s&o%s promise$

but %it&in t&is categor"$ &e could use a little %or' before becoming a team leader,

 T&ere is evidence t&at &e succeeds in listening %ell to ot&ers and lets ot&er members

tal'$ but &e also ma" be feeling li'e &e &as superiorit" over ot&er team members$ as &e

can sometimes tr" to summarize ot&er people7s t&oug&ts, &ile tr"ing to clarif" ot&er

people7s t&oug&ts is sometimes &elpful$ I feel t&at &e s&ould give t&e team members

t&e option to as' 6uestions and get or give clari0cation on t&eir o%n$ before jumping in

and re%ording t&e ideas to &is o%n t&oug&ts,

I am ver" glad "ou &ave given me t&is opportunit" to give m" t&oug&ts and ideas

about !"le and t&e ot&er team members, It is nice to 'no% m" opinion is valued and I&ope m" evaluation and recommendation %ere &elpful to "ou in "our consideration of

!"le for t&e 1allas position, T&oug& &e isn7t read" for t&is position "et$ I believe !"le

could be read" after a little time in a ne%$ more involved leaders&ip position in our

o;ce, #ave a %onderful da",

 T&an's$
