listening skills and comprehends complex matters well. His written communications skills meet
the requirements of his position, and he keeps others adequately informed. However, Jason
occasionally selects inappropriate methods of communication.

takes responsibility for his subordinates’ activities. However, there have been times when he did
not make himself available enough to subordinates.

Leadership 2.40 Needs improvement


Jason quickly assumes a strong leadership role when action is needed. He influences others to
perform better. However, he would be a stronger leader if he exhibited greater confidence in
himself as well as in others. Upon occasion, his actions have resulted in a lack of respect and
trust from others. Jason has reacted poorly in pressure situations.

Jason gives candid, constructive feedback to team members and, in turn, actively requests
feedback from them. He is a leader in building a strong team spirit and identity. All his actions
are directed toward the success of the team over his own interests. He exhibits a high degree of
openness and objectivity to the views of others. Jason has been able to balance the needs of the

assigns tasks to people based on their skills, experience, strengths, and limitations. However, his
subordinates are too often not given the adequate authority and independence to carry out the

defining expectations and then to monitor those activities regularly. Further, he sometimes does
not adequately recognize or give credit to people for the results of work he has delegated.

keep it updated.

Summary:

When Jason and I set goals last spring, we did not expect the reorganization. It really changed
our priorities so there was not much time to devote to some of the special projects. Instead we
got many new projects. Jason played an important role as a team member in selecting the new
payroll vendor and in reviewing our procedures during the audit.

Plans for Improvement:

Learn to trust members of your staff by letting them successfully complete delegated tasks and
prove themselves.
