If you could buy just ONE BOOK to help you with your Performance Review, which one would it be?

There are a fair few books available, to my excitement. Surprisingly, the best book I found on this subject is actually intended for people who are reviewing their staff. Why I like it is it puts you, as the reviewee, in the shoes of your reviewer. Taking this approach means that we can engineer our phrases we’ll use in our reviews to press the right buttons and hit the note of what our managers listen for. Hey – I’m the first to suggest that our Performance Appraisal is about US, not our MANAGER, but it’s an effective tactic to use the right phrases to ensure our message is understood – right?

The book I found is 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews: Ready-to-Use Words and Phrases That Really Get Results by Paul Falcone – you can buy it now at the discount price of $8.58 (a steal!).

But what about you?

What book would you buy to help you with your Performance Appraisal if you could buy only ONE? I’d love to hear it. I challenge you to find a better one that Falcone’s – browse around here and see if you can discover one. If I like your suggestion that much, I’ll buy it!

UPDATE: Game Is On!

My wife, Claire, just started the ball rolling. She found How To Say It Performance Reviews: Phrases and Strategies for Painless and Productive Performance Reviews which she thinks is better! Have you found one yet?
