Ever curious about how to elevate your year-end review? This episode a 3-part mini-series where we will discuss how to get ready for the year-end review. The first part of this series, which is today’s episode really focuses on the self-assessment and getting feedback from your circle of influence to prepare for the review.

Prepping for a year-end review should really start with you assessing yourself. If you’re really prepared to own your review, the conversation you have with your manager should not come as a surprise. 

The self-assessment contains 3 key components:

Giving an honest review of yourself:

For each of your main deliverable or projects I want you to answer these questions:

You should be able to objectively answer each of those questions. Write down the 1-2 examples that demonstrate how you’ve met that component of the questions. Repeat that for each project/main objective.

Comparing your work product to your peers:

This assessment may be a tad more subjective, as it depends on your visibility to your peers. You should be able to objectively answer each of those questions. Write down the 1-2 examples that demonstrate how you’ve met that component of the questions. Repeat that for each project/main objective.

Getting feedback  

Find 2-3 people to talk to in regards to each project and ask the following questions:

Your self-assessment should be so thorough that when you actually sit down with your manager, there are little to no surprises. You want to demonstrate that you’ve thought through your work and it should enable you to have a very productive conversation with your boss.

So, as you prepare for part two, take the list of opportunities to improve, start to think through how to address those elements. That’ll be a great starting point for next week’s episode.

Cheers!
