It is that magical time of the year!
Have you noticed that the holidays seem to come earlier every year? What is the deal with Christmas decorations the day after Halloween? If you are like most people you don't start thinking about shopping for Christmas until after Thanksgiving! Well the retail industry is trying to impact their results by stimulating us earlier each year through advertising and in store decorations. The goal is to influence us to start shopping sooner and for a longer period. The earlier we enter the process the more likely they will achieve their goal. That is pretty smart thinking! Now how can you take that type of thinking and apply it to your situation?
Lets revisit what we experienced during the Keeping It Real Development Series™.
The holiday season typically precedes annual performance reviews and salary/merit determinations for the upcoming year. If your boss is like most, they will put the decision off until the last possible moment, as they are busy focused on completing some big project before the end of the year. Why not learn from the retail industry and impact your results.
My friend this is a Proactive Moment. Make an impact for yourself and share your perspective of your performance in an organized and focused manner. The best time to impact your performance and salary review is before your boss takes pen to paper and documents their thoughts. Over the next few weeks take some time and think about your preparedness for your annual performance review. Use the Keeping It Real Performance Matrix and start getting the results you expect and truly make this holiday season a magical time.
