Hustle on Saturday so you can rest on Sunday.

Our director put together these super thoughtful questions for us to answer during our performance feedback meeting:

1. What can I do to make your job more enjoyable?

2. What (if any) concerns do you have when it comes to giving me feedback? How can I alleviate those concerns?

3. How do you prefer to receive feedback and/or recognition for your work?

4. What are two to three things I could do differently to better manage you?

Managers, how would your direct reports answer these? Have you asked them lately?

Ask Your Employees These Questions During Your Performance Review

Two weeks from today I’ll be golfing 100 holes and raising at least $1,000 to support Beacon of Hope, our local non-profit that provides no-cost counseling to so many here in Michigan.

Mental health is so important to me, and faith-based counseling has made a huge difference at times in my adult life.

Please consider partnering with me, be it financially or otherwise! Our family will be contributing directly as well.

Donate Now: https://www.facebook.com/donate/680456310039514/10101184310983205/

(Ew, Facebook. I know. But they don’t take a cut — all donations go directly to Beacon of Hope.)

If you prefer, I also have Cash App ($andrewmeyers) or Venmo (@andrewmeyers).

Thank you!

I’m golfing 100 holes in one day! ⛳
