Sarah Smith Feedback: 11/14/2022

Overall good

• Desire to be helpful and actually going above and beyond to assist teammates
• Attention to detail in all of your work
• Ability to think both long-term for the longevity of the company + short-term (what needs to be done immediately)

Overall needs improvement

• The details sometimes don’t have to be so thorough - 80% completion is good enough, since your definition of 80% is likely 110% for most other performers
• Asking for permission - do things without asking for approval so you don’t slow down

Actions to take

• HABIT: I will work on declaring what I intend to do instead of asking for approval so I don’t slow down. (By 2-1-23.)
• HABIT: I will work on zooming out and settling for my version of “good enough” rather than being 100% thorough prematurely. (By 2-1-23.)
• ACTION: Add a recurring calendar block to send weekly updates to my manager (Jenny) for proactive communication. (By 11-15-22.)

Self-assessment

Paste in the teammate’s self-assessment below.

• Your performance, 1-5 (where 3 is "meeting expectation"): 4
• What you did that you liked:
  • Always seek to help others around me by unblocking them
  • Always meets all deadlines provided with deliverables
  • Bias towards action for whatever has to get done, regardless if I’ve been assigned or not
• What would get you to the next level:
  • Seeing the forest from the trees - sometimes, I can get lost in doing the nitty-gritty
  • More proactive communication with my manager
