The performance review is an important part of your job as a manager or coach. But it is only a part. In order to develop team members effectively, you have to be proactive on a daily basis. This means having conversations and not just about the weather or the game last night. Create ongoing conversations throughout the year that focus on:

    * Developing team members to a higher level of ability
    * Triggering the insight and inspiration within your team members to grow in new ways
    * Building the skills that will enable others to accomplish their established goals
    * Preparing yourself and others for the performance review discussion
    * Keeping people motivated and moving forward toward the goals
