Glad I don't work for you. I agree that new goals are a good thing, but telling people that their best won’t be good enough the next time is a sure way to demotivate them. Glad I don’t work for you.

I try to couch it in terms of "look what we can achieve together" and trying to get people to reach their potential, rather than "you suck, do better". But its a fine line... Jake - fair point.

On the contrary, everyone here seemed to show greater motivation and enthusiasm after they took place. We can always do better, and it's important that we know how we can improve, and sort of dust out the closet. It's a tightrope walk, as Philip suggests, and you fall to your death if you lean too much either way. Of course, I was sick, and didn't get reviewed yet, so perhaps me glasses got a bit o' rose in em. I'm still freakin' stoked to work here.
