However, despite the importance of manager reviews, many business leaders do not know how to write effective manager performance reviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is the Purpose of Conducting a Manager Performance Review?<\/h2>\n

The purpose of conducting manager performance reviews is to provide the managers at your company with meaningful feedback that can help them to better understand what they are doing right and what they need to improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When managers have a better understanding of these areas, it can be easier for them to focus on what they need to do in order to get better at their jobs and <\/span>grow as a leader<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many employees actually would like to have more feedback at their jobs. In fact, roughly <\/span>65% of employees<\/span><\/a> report having this view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Managers learning to be better at their jobs is not just a win for them, it is also a win for your whole company, because better managers equal a better and more efficient company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why You Should Approach a Manager\u2019s Performance Review Differently<\/h2>\n

Writing a manager\u2019s performance review is different than writing a performance review for a general employee. This is because managers carry more responsibility within the organization and usually perform a wider range of tasks when leadership is factored in. Managers need to have skills associated with delegating work, training and supporting employees, and ensuring their teams work effectively together. Also, the performance of the manager\u2019s direct reports is partially reflective of the manager himself or herself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, when you write a manager\u2019s performance review, you have to consider a wide range of variables and skills, both soft and hard, including leadership and organizational capabilities, and managerial style. As a result, you should approach a manager\u2019s performance review with these particular considerations in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A5 Steps to Effectively Evaluate a Manager\u2019s Performance<\/h2>\n

1. Discuss outcomes that have been observed<\/b><\/h3>\n

In this part of your manager performance review, you should detail the exact outcomes that the manager affected. For example, if you are writing a performance review for a sales manager, you might explain how it has been observed that the sales manager\u2019s team generated $5 million dollars in sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You should include any statistics or data that is relevant to the manager\u2019s performance. This can include data from peer and self-reviews. Including this information will help to give the manager an understanding of the results he or she achieved during the review period. You can also include any other information that you have observed about the manager\u2019s behavior or handling of various tasks in this section.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

2. Explain how the manager\u2019s performance has met or not met goals or expectations\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Once you have written about and explained all of the data and your own observations regarding the manager\u2019s performance, the next step is to describe in detail how the performance has met or not met expectations. For example, if time management is a concern, you may want to detail how a project that was supposed to be finished by April 20th was delayed until May 2nd and the impact this had on the organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conversely, if a manager has been meeting all expectations, then you should highlight this information as well. Keep the tone of your writing professional and respectful.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

3. Be direct and specific\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

When you are writing your performance review, you should try to be direct and very specific. Get to the point and don\u2019t be vague, even if you know that the manager might not particularly like what you write. You can also use \u201cI\u201d statements so that you are demonstrating accountability for your review. For example, you can say, \u201cI noticed that you were late for work 12 times this quarter.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being direct and specific prevents you from providing feedback that is misunderstood. It also prevents your managers from thinking that if they make mistakes or don\u2019t live up to expectations that it will go unnoticed.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

4. Try to remain objective and avoid being biased\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are a number of ways a person could accidentally write a manager performance review tinged with unconscious bias. For example, a reviewer may tend to view managers who are similar to him or her in terms of personality, height, age, etc. more favorably. A reviewer may also give too much weight to a manager\u2019s recent performance and thus neglect to focus on the manager\u2019s performance throughout the entire length of the review period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You should always strive to be as objective and fair as possible. This also means reviewing the manager\u2019s performance based on the requirements and expectations of the job as opposed to how he or she compares to the performance of another manager, such as a top performer.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

5. Provide recommendations for steps the manager can take to improve performance<\/b><\/h3>\n

In your manager performance reviews, it is important not just to tell managers what they might be doing right or wrong. It is also important to be constructive with feedback about what they need to do to reach a higher level of performance or to set themselves up for advancement within your organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the manager is making critical mistakes in a specific area, provide instructions for how he or she can avoid making these mistakes. If a manager is performing well in a certain area, give him or her praise and encouragement to keep performing these tasks well. You can also give him or her recommendations for additional things he or she can do to <\/span>boost their team\u2019s morale<\/span><\/a> and performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"AExamples of Positive Feedback for Managers<\/h2>\n

Here are examples of positive feedback for manager reviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

  2. \u201cThrough the peer reviews I read, it has become clear to me that your peers think you are doing a great job.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u201cNot only were you able to prevent the project from going over budget, which is excellent, but your team completed the project well ahead of schedule. You exceeded expectations in both areas.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u201cI have witnessed many interactions that you have had with the employees who report to you and I noticed that your communication skills are exceptional. Keep up the good work!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \u201cThere were 18 percent fewer customer complaints for your department this year. Well done.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Examples of Negative Feedback for Managers<\/h2>\n

    Here are some examples of negative feedback for managers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u201cI noticed that you fell short of your sales quota by 300 units.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    2. \u201cWe have received 3 complaints from the employees who report to you that you have an \u2018overly aggressive\u2019 managerial style.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    3. \u201cI noticed that there were 3 statistical errors in your presentation to our clients. We always strive for zero statistical errors in presentations. So, this is an area that needs to be improved.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    4. \u201cI saw that you were regularly late to work last month. It is important to set a good example for your team by being on time.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    5. \u201cUnfortunately, your department failed to meet its production quota under your leadership. Here are three steps I would recommend in order to fix this for next year\u2026\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Conclusion<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Writing manager reviews might not be the most comfortable or thrilling part of your job. However, in order for managers to improve at their jobs, they need to hear meaningful and constructive feedback from their supervisors. Companies that provide consistent feedback also have turnover rates for employees that are lower compared to companies that do not.<\/span><\/p>\n
