Do you want to change the mindset of your employees and restore their faith? Well, here is a list of the dumbest possible mistakes you should avoid.
This is one of the dumbest mistakes a manager could make. A performance review meeting requires prior preparation both by the manager and the employee.

Never assume that employees don’t need to hear about the things that they do well. Don’t always focus on their negatives. Give them meaningful feedback where you appreciate them for their good work and point out their mistakes, giving them a chance to correct them.
