"Effective supervisors provide their subordinates with day-to-day feedback on performance. Regular feedback on performance is essential to improve employee performance and to provide the recognition that will motivate employees to sustain satisfactory performance.

1. Tell me about a situation in which someone you know of (or yourself) was not given feedback on a regular basis from a supervisor, yet was still given annual performance reviews/appraisals.
2. How effective, or not, was the supervisor's overall performance management as a result? Discuss.
3. Give a specific example or examples, but as always, be sure to not use names for confidentiality's sake.

• • If you do not have an example, use someone who WAS given feedback regularly. How effective (or not) was the supervisor's performance management as a result?
