3 questions to always ask in your quarterly reviews

 I have just wrapped up NationLink's Q1 quarterly reviews - this is never fun for me or the employees but continually proves to be a most valuable tool for me to engage each person, discover things that need to be done, get them focused on what needs to be done and get their buy-in on the company’s goals. Three things we always ask them to bring are 1. 3 Goals they set last quarter and how they progressed on them (including what held them up or helped them complete them) 2. 3 Goals for the next three months (including any resources they need to get them done) and 3. 3 things that management can do to make their "experience" EASIER. I have a nice form that gets emailed out one week prior to these meetings that each person fills out and brings me an extra copy - email me andy.bailey@mynationlink.com and I will send you a copy of what we use - NOTE: you have to be sure you take the feedback, solve any challenges fast and fulfill your commitments - if you don’t they will stop bringing them to you.
