What If You Just Threw Performance Management Away?

We’re Still Taking Submissions for 1,001 Canned Responses for Self Appraisals
We have well over 200 individual submissions for canned responses for self appraisals. And they’re still coming. I believe that we can get this thing written in a week. If you have some submissions, or know someone who has snappy answers to self appraisals, have them click on 1,001 Canned Responses for Self Appraisals. All responses will be fully credited. You’ll get like thousands of karma points. Children and small animals will love you. Your mother will be proud.

Thanks much to contributors so far, including: Ashley Andrus of Zoe Training, Michael Long from The Red Recruiter, Bill Strahan of HumanMarkets, Fran Melmed of Context Communication Consulting, Krista Francis, Nora Burns of Insightful Endeavors, David Kaneda of DavidKaneda.com, Marie (who are you, Marie?), Lisa Robinson, Alan Gruner, Shawna Armstrong, Lindsay from Thoughts from Training Time, Michael VanDevort of Human Race Horses, Doug Sayed of Strategic Pay Series, Rick of 48Facets, MJ Anschell, and Trish of HR Ringleader.

Special shout out to Ben Eubanks of UpstartHR, whose enthusiasm for this idea really got me and lots of others jazzed.
