_ Performance appraisal causes serious discussion.

1. Develop good job descriptions that include detailed job breakdowns.
2. Make performance standards known to everyone involved.
3. Establish a simple rating system that everyone understands.
4. Appraise performance over which the appraised has control.
5. Arrange a private atmosphere and objectively compare observed
   performance to established performance standards.
6. Ask for and provide clarification when expected disagreement occurs.
7. Work together to set improvement goals and provide training if needed.
8. Reward behavior you want repeated.
