Poor Employee Performance Feedback: Sous Chef

Tells everyone what one is good at instead of letting one's actions speak for themselves

Does not encourage or support people who are facing challenges at work or offer solutions to the challenges they are facing

Completes the tasks given to teams without getting concerned who gets the credit

Always willing to help his fellow workmates complete their projects on time

Has frequent changing mods that are difficult to keep up with

Carries an unfortunate viewpoint that always causes the team to lose the bearing

Finds it hard to share a problem with friends for fear of being criticized

Considers attending workshops or training on emotion control as a waste of precious time

Presents problem analysis and recommended solution to other employees rather than just describing or identifying the problem itself

Makes eye-contact, pays attention to nonverbal clues such as tone of the voice, facial expressions, and posture when having a conversation with a colleague

Uses day planners, calendars, highlighters, project planning software, resource management software and any other program created to help one stay organized

Performs repetitious or routine tasks with attention and care and follows the required procedures to ensure all parts of the tasks are complete

Does not keep promises; always guarantees that deadlines will be met but constantly misses them

Gossips and spreads unfounded rumors thus, cuts down team members rather than building them

Assumes one knows everything thus does not bother to seek clarification on things that are not clear before starting a task or project

Does not ask for help from the instructor or colleagues who have done the same tasks or projects

Analyzes small things until they become bigger and scarier leading to a negative view of those things

Insists that everyone else is wrong and therefore does not consider other people's ideas or way of thinking

Is reluctant to explain to employees the importance of producing quality work or problems that the company could face if employees continued producing low-quality work

Delegates tasks to team members without considering their skills, strengths, or weaknesses
