Annual Performance Reviews: How to Maximize Their Effectiveness

I have been taking part in annual performance reviews for approximately forty years, beginning with Officer Performance Reports (OPRs) as a lieutenant in the United States Air Force, to earlier this week as a faculty member at Augusta University (AU).
