What are some differences between evaluating excellent performers and evaluating poor
performers?
1. You should hint to excellent performers that they are underperforming so that they do not
become complacent.
2. The message for excellent performers should be generally positive.
3. You should be honest with excellent performers but "sugarcoat" the message to poor
performers.
4. Poor performers should be told that they must improve.

Answer 1

2 and 4

Explanation: Excellent performers should receive generally positive feedback (with honest, constructive guidance as needed). Poor performers need clear, direct messages that they must improve — you should not sugarcoat or give misleading hints.
