Employees should prepare thoroughly for performance reviews by reflecting on their achievements and areas for improvement, manage their emotions to avoid defensiveness, and stay focused on relevant topics to make a positive impression and foster growth. Avoiding unpreparedness, negative reactions to feedback, and off-topic discussions can help improve the review process and relationships with managers.
After a surprising 2022 season, the New York Giants are facing questions about their self-evaluation as they struggle in the 2023 NFL season. Despite admitting a talent gap between themselves and top teams, the Giants made offseason moves that raised expectations. However, with a 1-3 start and lackluster performances, the team appears further from being a contender. Questions arise about the offensive line, player development, regression of quarterback Daniel Jones, poor special teams, lack of turnovers, and coaching decisions. While the Giants' braintrust may not have mis-evaluated the team, the disappointing start raises doubts about their ability to replicate last season's success.
