Impromptu
Sometimes an appraisal is suddenly necessary because of a crisis; something that is both important for the business and at the same time action is required urgently.In these circumstances we may be looking for the appraisee to take on extra responsibility, perhaps even move into unfamiliar territory.
Some might say that directors should be prepared to do this anyway – this is an ‘it goes with the territory’ argument.
But things are not often that simple. If skill is the ‘how to do’, knowledge is the knowing ‘what to do’ and attitude is ‘wanting to do’. And we have to have all three in order to be effective.
The good news in all this is that our own personal growth often accelerates when we apply our existing expertise to a new and / or challenging area of work.
On that basis, on balance, let’s go for it!
