Apply these steps ia m sure you get success..
1. Assess your report in light of the company’s culture.
In some cultures, anything but glowing praise will be viewed as negative. In others, tough reviews are the norm.
Often your boss will be expected to come up with at least one point of constructive criticism. After all, nobody walks on water. But if you’re being attacked or unfairly criticized, you must explore further.
Sometimes you’ll win more points by taking the review in stride than by fighting. But in some cultures, a single negative review means you need to start job-hunting right away.
2. Calculate your boss’s strategy.
Sometimes your performance report has nothing to do with you or your performance. Your boss might honestly want to see you leave the company or make sure the next promotion goes to someone else.
Your boss may be a new hire who is still learning your company’s culture. She may combine good intentions with weak implementation.
Or maybe your boss wants to get your attention: he’s dropped hints and you’ve ignored them. Or he wants to help you progress but doesn’t know how to communicate tactfully.
3. Listen for unwritten messages.
Does your company have a category where a low score means you’re headed for disaster? Does your boss try to tell you, "It’s a great review!" when you know otherwise?
Suppose you’ve been getting terrific reviews — and now you get slammed with a truckload of criticism. Maybe you really did have a bad year. Or maybe there’s an agenda you need to understand.
