A good supervisor will be able to deliver negative news in a fair way. I the problem is not negative evaluations so much as unfair ones. "Life's too short? Listen to the evaluation and decide if it's correct. If it is, work to fix it. If not, consider looking for another job, as you may have a supervisor who doesn't communicate clear expectations." 41.14680481 -73.83180237 -1

" "Have confidence that you are doing your best everyday and have the best intentions for the library/patron-base at heart. It has been my experience that my supervisors are not ""out to get me"" and that if I try my best, and ask questions when I don't know something, and tell people, ""I don't know."" instead of making up answers, that we get along just fine and build a community of trust.

" "There is something quite odd about the notion that evaluations must always be ""private"" because this cna often lead to situations where the librarian (I have been here myself) does not get the value of collaborative crowdsourced feedback because evaluations are locked away in ""private"" between the librarian and management. But a crowdsourced evaulation model brings things to the open to many ideas done with an atttitude of constructive criticism can be taken as a matter of course instead of worrying that ""I am the only one with some problem or another.""

Librarianship is constantly evolving, so the confidence to try new things is essential. Ideally, the work environment accepts that not all initiatives will be successful." Try to focus on successes and positive feedback. Don't allow yourself to replay negative experiences over and over again in your mind. 31.17210388 -89.2947998 -1

It gives the librarian an opportunity to list accomplishments, professional development, and so on. You get to see at the start of the process what you have accomplished, whether it is a statistic or adaption to changes in the workplace such as a new online system or adoption of a new code. People should be prompted to consider seminars attended, day to day training of others, availability to aid/consult with others, and so on as valuable contributions. They should be encouraged to list accomplishments in these areas even if they seem routine. " "Gaining more experience through interacting with others (consulting/asking for or giving assistance), training, and just day to day work on the job does build your expertise in an area. Be open to helping others. Realize that everyone makes mistakes. Don't be to down on yourself. Give yourself credit for what you accomplish each day! Over the years, these sorts of things have helped me build confidence. I used to have many more work anxieties early in my career than I do now. Part of that, of course, is maturity, and part of it is simply that I am accustomed to my role and work with people who value that role." 33.9499054 -83.375 -1

Sometimes I work hard so that others will know I'm doing well, not because I want to. I feel a lot of pressure (self-inflicted) to be better than others so that I will be evaluated well." A lot of my fear stems from lack of communication. Having only one evaluation a year with no chats or side comments to suggest I'm doing well puts a lot of pressure on that one evaluation. We tend to only communicate when someone isn't doing well and don't reward success. I've started writing my accomplishments at the end of each month - work and professional development accomplishments (the type of things I'd report on my evaluation). It eases the fear a little to see the successes pile up. 40.08670044 -82.5460968 -1

Leadership needs to communicate clearly about the role of performance evaluations and ensure that people know that evaluations can be used to support growth and learning. People too often tie performance evaluations with disciplinary actions. Managers need to address personnel problems in advance of performance evaluations so they are less linked in staff's minds. Take a look at the work of Senge and others who write about organizational learning. "Take time to nurture yourself and to reflect honestly on your strengths and weaknesses. No one comes into any profession fully equipped to deal with all aspects of it. Librarianship takes place in a fast changing environment. Keep learning, find mentors, engage in professional growth.

For me, a big part of being concerned about a negative eval has to do with what I think is poor managerial skills. With my current supervisor, I know where I stand. He is consistent with praise and yet is willing to remind me in an adult non-passive aggressive way where I need to make changes. My previous supervisor was not like this. We supervisees didn't know where we stood, thus creating anxiety at least in me. During the previous supervisor's evals she would try to make comments about an area of improvement, that were 'wack'. She didn't have the necessary skills to effectively communicate about both positive work success and areas that needed improvement/change." "Based on my previous response, I think more skilled managers would be great. Another piece of this is lack of clear identification of expectations by admin to librarians. Of course I'm going to fear an eval if I don't know what is expected of me. " Try to get admin to be really clear about what they expect; learn how to manage up.

First I think an evaluation should be used to benefit the librarian. If there are some cirtical evaluations the librarian should use that information to change. 33.78430176 -118.1156998 -1

However my institution has a religious aspect to its mission that I have to be careful not to disagree with publically. "It takes two to tango. Supervisors/managers should strive to be as objective as possible in their evaluations and criticism should be made with an offer of support or advice to resolve something. Unfortunately, there are people in supervisory positions that abuse their positions of power. Sometimes they are just irrational and can't step back and think of their employees as people to nurture and mentor. Those are the toughest situations and unfortunately it only takes one ""bad"" manager to impact an entire department or library."

My ""fears"" are more due to the impact on myself and the Library of negative evaluations conducted by people whom I believe lack the requisite leadership skills to conduct fair and productive evaluations (my current institution has a long record of administrative instability)." "Not an easy question. I think supervisors within the library should try to do what can been done to minimize such fears, but it really is an issue of institutional culture, something that the top administration much take ultimate responsibility for. I think it is important for librarians to look at the larger picture and be able to demonstrate their talents and knowledge through their scholarly/professional work. Basically, amass evidence - a body of work - that would contradict a negative evaluation by a supervisor." Having a mentor can be a great help. Also keep in mind the old adage that just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you (e.g try to maintain a sense of humor and have something other that work in your life that fulfills you). 38 -97 -1

My recommendation then would be to improve within the profession an understanding of what makes a good manager, and make sure these skills are required when hiring." "Again, focus on what you can control: the quality of you work.

I feel that men would rarely be concerned about being criticized and women, taught to socially please, are more concerned in different ways. The idea of this ""social anxiety"" has many gender biases and possibly gender-based implications. Though librarianship is largely a female profession, many of the managerial and high-level academic positions in libraries are held by men. I think what has affected my career is disempowerment, and librarianship as a profession is not empowering. " "I think that libraries tend to pull managerial staff from the ranks of librarians, who have little or no managerial experience and then simply set them at the task. If they've been great at their job, they get promoted but may be ill-prepared to actually supervise or manage. I think libraries really need to look hard at this tendency and start to train those they are promoting into management to do that kind of work. It requires a very specific set of skills and a delicate understanding of interpersonal and social relationships and patterns. I think libraries suffer tremendously from a lack of true leadership and from the issues described in The Leadership Pipeline. Giving staff leadership roles and skills across the organization, and trusting in staff's capabilities, would help. Libraries, for being so dedicated to providing excellent services to their patrons, are frequently very disempowering organizations for staff. They tend to be very hierarchical and rigid. This is in part due to the libraries' and librarianships' overall fears and negative self-perceptions as a profession. Individuals within the profession are bound to be negatively impacted by the disempowerment of the profession as a whole. " "Supportive management and feeling empowered are entwined, but you can create a work environment for yourself in which you feel empowered by taking ownership of your job duties. It takes time, persistence, perseverance, and a lot of gumption. But it can be done. Then when you have negative interactions, you can more quickly let them go because you have other things that fulfill you. If you cannot accomplish this in your organization (it can seem nearly impossible depending on your management and the structure within which you work), then create an empowering and fulfilling life outside the library and concentrate on the ""life"" part of the ""work life balance."" Also, promote more women into leadership roles where you have the power to do so. Empower librarianship as a profession. And don't pathologize gendered experiences or disenfranchised-persons' experiences within corporate (or other) cultures. " 40.71429443 -74.0059967 -1

"It would depend on why the fear of negative evaluations exists. If someone is going to lose their job due to a negative evaluation, then the corporate culture and perhaps the budget should be reevaluated and changes made. If the fear is because a program or plan failed, then steps to improve or salvage that plan must be taken. There are a lot of different ways that this question could be answered, and more detail is needed in the context of describing the situation."

I think you become concerned when a pattern of behavior emerges overtime - the same criticisms regardless of the work environment or evaluator. "I think managers and supervisors need to receive actual training in how to conduct evaluations and what's appropriate to include. For example, if someone snaps at you, rather than noting it on an evalution talk to the person about their behavior (this has happened to me). Or don't single someone out if all the employess exhibit the same behaviors (again, this has happened to me). I think workplaces need to formulate guidelines on what is appropriate to include and what's not. Also, evaluations shouldn't be used as management tools or as the basis for decisions. Rather than working to improve or educate a problem employee, poor managers use evaluations to force employees to quit or scare them into submission. " "Document, document, document! Always keeps copies of the good things people say about you, always note your achievements. Your manager, particularly poor ones, don't do this. They focus on the bad. Also, don't be afraid to tell your manager when it's inappropriate to include something on an evaluation (bad days). Ultimately, do your job the best you can. We're not here to get good evaluations, we're here to hellp people. " 46.59269714 -112.0361023 -1

I feel my masters from U of A Tuscon helped me understand the mission of school libraries as places to begin the journey of life-long learning. "The job of any administrator is to guide and help the people they are supervising if the need arises. This is rarely done. Employees should feel comfortable asking for help or advice. Asking for help should be appreciated bu administration as willingness to learn and improve. Too many times the first time an employee is aware of what they lack in the workplace, is their evaluation. This is not right." "Love Your Job. Be friendly and encouraging to your patrons.

"Supervisors don't get any training in supervision, management, mentoring, or anything else that would make them more effective.

However, the majority of situations involve improving a skill or knowledge area. If the expectations are clearly stated, improvement is communicated positively, specifically and within the individuals ability to change, and one works through a transition.

But I now deal with it in a much more laid back way... I always feel nervous and worry about others' opinions but I also temper that with perspective that most of the time it doesn't matter. "No matter what the organization is, it's always important to hire good people and then empower them with the knowledge that you know they are good and you trust them. You have to make your staff feel confident that they can take risks and nothing bad is going to happen, that you will have their back if they make a mistake. Otherwise nothing creative or innovative can happen. Celebrate every victory they make. That's the first and most important step. And next, curb your tendency to point out their failures. Let them know you're glad they tried." I really strongly recommend therapy. I am taking this survey anonymously so I have no problem saying that I go to a therapist and it has helped my confidence and self-esteem immensely. I think everyone would benefit from having someone to talk to and to provide positive influence in their lives. Everyone should see a therapist. And people should learn to get over the stigma or negative assumptions attached to that. It really does help. 34.14779663 -118.1445007 -1

This avoids the perception of negative evaluation, and encourages positive feedback to develop behavior change. Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence work, and Kouzes and Posner's ""The Leadership Challenge"" address these issues, and should be inculcated into library leadership.

Better communication. Supervisors and employees should be encouraged to communicate about what the expectations are so they can be more succesfully met. This would go a long way in lessening the possibility of a negative evaluation. Also more instruction on how to do an evaluation. "Make sure your supervisor knows why something didn't go right or why you did not meet a goal, if you are afraid that it might come up in an evaluation. The more they understand, the less likely they are to judge harshly as long as what you tell them is reasonable. Also pay attention to their expectations and what is important to them.

I want to know if someone has critical feedback to share with me so that I can consider the validity of the statement and determine whether or not I should amend my actions/behaviour. "I would recommend restructuring the evaluation process and developing a workplace of trust and support. Regular check-ins and coaching sessions should be part of the evaluation process so that employees aren't hearing lots of negative feedback at once, also, so that the pressure of evaluation is reduced from a big yearly event to a regular ongoing part of work. Also, if an employee knows he/she is going to be coached and supported through problem areas that might help reduce fear." "I would ask them to remember that we are in a field that values life-long learning. We value that for staff as well as our customers. Try to redefine negative feedback on an evaluation as a way to focus your professional life-long learning. To make our workplaces as effective and efficient as possible, every person at every level needs to be developing and improving their skills. If your supervisor has identified an area that needs growth, don't view it as an indictment of your entire performance or value as an employee/person, try to view it as a place to focus your energy for improvement. Also, talk to your supervisor if their feedback system isn't working for you. Try to come to a mutually beneficial system. " 43.54690552 -116.2913055 -1

Provide continual feedback rather than waiting for a formal evaluation to communicate praise or concerns. Limit remarks concerning weak areas of job performance to private conversation with the individual involved. Provide frequent positive feedback. Provide social interaction in non-threatening situations. "Once while dealing with strong criticism from my supervisor - which, unfortunately, was warranted - I realized, ""I am constantly seeking to improve my job performance through professional development and readings in my field. If my supervisor had come to me and said, ""Would you like to know how you can improve as a librarian?"" I would have promptly answered, ""YES!"" I need to rethink my response to this criticism and see it as an opportunity to improve professionally and personally."" Ever since that epiphany, I have always tried (with varying levels of succes!) to view my annual performance review as well as other criticisms of my work as an opportunity to become an even better librarian." 30.5019989 -87.36009979 -1

More closely aligned evaluation criteria would go a long to way improving this process."

In these cases I rarely speak to power but because of some treatment in the past I have learned to be more self aware and am more confident about performing more accurate self assessment of resources before saying yes.

I used to work in the business world and I got much more feedback - both positive and negative - and it helped (overall) me be a better employee." "The metrics that people are being evaluated on need to be clear and transparent. People should be able to see their evaluations and respond to them. Evaluation should be consistent across employees (i.e. everyone should feel they are in the same boat, in terms of their work being evaluated). It should also be consistent in the sense that employees should know and expect to be evaluated and they should know what kind of feedback they are going to get (goes back to being transparent about the metrics). Supervisors giving the evaluation should make sure to give both positive feedback and constructive criticism. These recommendations all come from my past jobs in the business world and when these guidelines were followed, I appreciated being evaluated and felt that it made me a better employee. It also made me more comfortable and confident because I KNEW what my supervisor/superiors thought of my work, I didn't have to guess and worry." "Not to be harsh, but I think it's a little ridiculous that librarians would *fear* negative evaluation. In most other careers/industries, evaluations are just part of the culture and you just deal with it. Of course it can be done poorly, can feel personal, etc. and that's never good, so if that's the environment I could understand the fear, but just fearing criticism overall is silly - how are you ever going to get better at your job if no one ever tells you what you need to work on?!

In only one case was the former clearly so. "A culture of learning (including freedom to learn from failure); an atmosphere of trust and respect; open and continuous communication and feedback; and clearly defined performance expectations. Nobody should be surprised by anything in an annual evaluation, especially ""gotchas"" on events that went unaddressed at the time; a supervisor should be giving explicit feedback (and soliciting it) throughout the year." "I believe FNE is closely tied to impostor syndrome, and working on that would help. Practicing recognition of successes, however small, can help develop a sense of competence and confidence. Considering failures in the context of your successes can help keep them in perspective. Most librarians aren't generally involved in safety-critical work, so unless one's supervisor is really difficult, most mistakes are 1) fixable and/or 2) not truly harmful. If your supervisor *is* really difficult, it may not matter what your mistakes (if any) are; evaluation is out of your control anyway., and it will have far more to do with your supervisor than you or your actual performance. Sometimes supervisors are difficult because of their own FNE...but if there's no trust between you, that doesn't really matter in the end." 46.62879944 -87.479599 -1

Though I don't exactly hate this. It's more like a reality of ANY job where you aren't your own boss and someone has the opportunity to arbitrarily fire or cause problems for you. Being in a unionized workplace helps a lot, but I still find myself doing more to simply please my superiors than to challenge myself or do anything personally fulfilling in my work." At least in a unionized workplace you have the security of knowing that you have formal representation and support if someone is making your work life unecessarily bad. I don't know that there's much to be done on a personal level as far as coping. I need the income from my job just ot survive as I live paycheck to paycheck so there's a lot of anxiety there. I literally can't afford to screw up so even the perception that I might be is a major issue. If I had any savings or enough income to live on that wasn't just month to month I'd have more security and could work without so much fear. "Try not to let it bother you. Keep looking for a better work environment. Like I said above, without monetary security and some sense of safety in your work environment any coping stategy can only do so much." 47.03790283 -122.9006958 -1

My latest director, who is my age, only listens to younger, newer librarians, which is valid sometimes, but not aways. I think she fears negative evaluations from her VP. Always wants to be on the cutting edge, but like me, can't be innovative. Not everyone can be an innovator, but good work should be valued whether innovative or enduring. Not everyone can be a genius, and they shouldn't be expected to be. But academic libraries have something called ""collegiality"" and one shouldn't be afraid to disagree collegially (dissent), or have a bad evaluation because you do. Some organizations believe you should leave if you don't agree." "We work in a service environment, we have to please people, even if we don't like them or they are rude to us. If I don't respect my supervisor, I don't take offense or care about their evaluations, but if I do respect my supervisor, I listen to what they say, and strive to do a better job. " "These days, it seems that you are only given a good evaluation if you can save the organization money in some way (regardless of the consequences) or create a new method of doing something. Not everyone can do that, and the work environment should allow for mistakes, because that is how people learn. No one is going to die, if you try something and it doesn't work. And you don't change or innovate processes because of a few mistakes. Look at the big picture, and if you feel you are contributing, you shouldn't fear evaluations. Evaluations are always subjective, evaluate your evaluator. If you realize they are motivated by helping their staff to do a good job, as opposed to finding ways of making themselves look good to their boss, then why should you fear their evaluation? If you respect them, then listen to what they have to say. " 29.87289429 -98.01399994 -1

" The fear of evaluations is due to the instruments being used incorrectly. Supervisors should be given classes in how to be a leader and how to administer evaluations. Evaluations should be given on an on-going basis and not once a year. Because evaluations are largely misused (and studies back this up) organizations should think creatively on how to train supervisors to do without them. Start by not working for a half-wit. It is not worth the emotional beating to try to work for a moronic boss.

I am not fearful/worried when receiving performance evaluations. In that context, I see the 'negative' evaluation as constructive feedback and an opportunity to improve. Granted, it does make a huge difference how the supervisor delivers the evaluation. " "Having been a supervisor at one time, I am aware of the role that managers/supervisors can play in setting the appropriate culture/environment to minimize the creation of 'negative' evaluations to begin with. 1. Top management needs to establish a culture/environment whereby all employees buy-in to 'continuous improvement' in operations and service to achieve the organization's mission. Let's not rest on our laurels. How can we continue to improve serving our users? 2. 2. Supervisors need to better understand the nature of why a person is moving in the direction of a negative evalution? Are they not motivated? Are there interpersonal communication issues? Does the job not fit their skill set? Overloaded with work? What can the supervisor do to raise the performance level of the employee? Training? Change in work schedule if possible? 3. 3. Supervisors can work with the librarian to develop annual performance goals/objectives and meet regularly (montly, quarterly, ..) to discuss progress and any issues that have arisen. The supervisor needs to be part of the solution to enhancing the employee's contribution. 4. 4. Supervisors need to provide positive feedback reinforcing the employee's contributions in addition to the constructive feedback. The constructive feedback can be associated with the desired end goal that everyone's working toward. 5. 5. To achieve the above, supervisors need to be trained on the roles and responsibilities that they have towards their staff. It doesn't come natural to many supervisors on how to 'read' an employee and understand his/her strengths/weaknesses; how to have those difficult conversations; what it means to support one's staff; creating an environment where people want to come to work. " "My initial response is to recommend counseling. Much of this fear of negative evaluation is deep-seated and long-standing. It's not a personal issue that is easily addressed with simple platitudes. Having said that, there are numerous workshops that can help people refocus their attention on the possibilities that can come from receiving negative feedback." 36.03779602 -78.9858017 -1

I am lucky to work for an organization that recognizes hard work. I know that doing my job to the best of my ability will guarantee a good review, although I am always a little nervous around evaluation time." Expectations need to be clearly defined and communicated to staff members. Superviors need to assure staff members that meeting these expectations will result in a good review. I think fear results from an unawareness of evaluation criteria or if the evaluation feels arbitrary. "Foster an open relationship with your supervisor by asking for their expectations and whether or not they are being met. It would be helpful to have an ongoing, informal evalution dialogue between staff and supervisors instead of a once a year ""big"" event. I think that fear will dissipate if the focus is taken away from the ""big"" event evalution and is done informally throughout the year. " 40.28269958 -83.05590057 -1

Because of years cultivating reasons why people should give me a positive evaluation, I am well respected and actually just recently found out that my organization and colleagues really do think positively of me and my services, when i didn't think of myself positively. If I didn't care about negative evaluations, I probably wouldn't go the extra mile all the time to really reduce the risk of a negative evaluation." "Leadership retreats (PNLA, MPLA), workshops, books (there are some GREAT books on self-development out there!), articles, Continuing Education on relevant topics, and opportunities for employees to go to non-library leadership retreats, with no one else from their library, or at most, one trustworthy co-worker from their library." "Be gentle and patient with yourself. You're a work in progress, and you have to have these experiences to build empathy, which makes you a far better person for helping others. When the time is right for you, and you're open to self-development, you will pick up life lessons and learnings which will help lessen the fear of negative evaluation. It's helpful to know that even those who don't seem to care what others think of them really honestly don't plan to do shoddy work. Everyone intrinsically wants to do good....even the person doing the evaluation may not be good at doing evaluations. It's not you personally, are you being hard on yourself? Do you really know yourself? Can you see yourself through others' eyes? I once had a wise manager in my organization tell me, if you hear something negative from one or two people, automatically dismiss it. If you start to hear it from three or more, perhaps pay attention. The trick is to make sure you heard them say it, that it's just not your assumption or your internal thought you're placing on someone else. With me being insecure, I had a wake up call when I was sitting in an audience of a business conference (non-library) lecture and the speaker stated clearly that being insecure is actually the same as being selfish - I had an initial intense reaction in my mind ""What?! No it's not! I give myself away to make sure people think positively of me!!"" but as I quieted my mind and kept listening, the lecturer went on to explain; with fear, your focus is inward, in to the self, hence selfish. So, to not be selfish, your focus should be outside of your self, serving others; you're seeking to help others. I concluded being a great librarian is focusing on others, outward, seeking what information gaps others have and how you can fill those gaps for them to make life easier for them. Once you consistently focus on that, you will one day realize that your fear of negative evaluation isn't as gripping as it was when you initially started focusing outward. I am at a point in my life and career that I'm still surprised by all the positive acknowledgements, but I don't have that gripping sense of fear any more. " 48.19869995 -114.3856964 -1

"library supervisors and library administrators need to have these discussions with employees. i've had only one supervisor say that the annual evaluation process was a conversation, not a one-way process supervisor to employee. she believed that there should be no surprises at the annual review because issues will have been addressed long before the annual review sit-down." "not sure if this fear of negative evaluation is a gender issue, but i find that my male librarian colleagues are not fearful at all--they say what they mean. they're not afraid of ""playing nice"" and seem to be less concerned about being judged by colleagues. my advice would be to realize that there's no such thing as perfection. talk to a variety of colleagues and get their advice, take professional development webinars that address what are the actual underlying reasons for the ""fear.""

I think many people have this fear. I think just support from dept. heads or coworkers might help. support and training Not sure. I know that I do really great work but there's always that fear of being negatively evaluated. There are many subjective opinions that show up in my evaluations that I do not think are fair and I've seen people's opinions cloud coworkers evaluations. Seems that many of our evaluations are not fair so that would be a start but having standardized evaluations not based on subjective opinions. 37.21530151 -93.29820251 -1

You just have to do the best job that you can, meet the challenges that come up, and get with supervisors if there are things that can't be resolved. There's always room for improvement, and that is what you should take away from an evaluation. " "They may need to institute a progress report or more frequent meetings with librarians and supervisors. It can be intimidating to only have one evaluation to base an entire year of work upon, which is what I have now. I was less stressed when there was one offical evaluation, and one sort of 'mid-term' evaluation. " "If you really think that you're going to get a negative evaluation, meet with your supervisor(s) proactively to talk about it. Come up with solutions to address what you see as the problems, and work through it with your boss. Not all supervisors will be amenable to this, but showing initiative in solving problems is always a good thing!" 42.63949585 -112.313797 -1

"open door policies, avoiding talking in hushed voices within office spaces, keeping communication open." "Ha, I know all the advice, but it is difficult to follow. I have seen paranoia in the work place, and it's not a 'strong' or 'capable' look, so I think it's important to keep it to yourself and understand that it's mostly in your head, and you're probably fine if you're doing your work well, getting positive feedback, keeping a PMA, and not making anyone feel uncomfortable. I do feel that Im an overly anxious person about my performance, and others opinions about me, as my results probably show, but I feel like my anxiety is not always a bad thing because it pushes me to go out of my way to make myself an important part of what we do, and to take every opportunity where I can help others and do my job well. I've been dealing with it my whole life, and I've learned to handle it so far

It has been my experience that they are not used as guidelines for improvement but as threats. Being on the giving and on the receiving end has been educational. I have been absolutely stunned by a poor review [why didn't I know ahead of time that you were unhappy with my performance in this area?] and have been instructed to prepare ""low-ball"" evaluations for my team to avoid raise negotiations [nothing higher than ""satisfactory"" unless they have actually leapt buildings in a single bound or saved Gotham from certain destruction]." More frequent evaluations - a more regular review of what's being done right & where to focus on change would at least alleviate the pressure of whether you're performance is about to get trashed for the previous year. "It is not personal, it is strategic positioning by management or VERY RARELY intended as a guideline for adjusting your performance priorities." 46.00920105 -112.4421005 -1

Most of the time I am positive that I will get good evaluations. " "Leadership needs to do some team building exercises. That's not healthy. Work on communication skills in the workplace to help aid in this fear. Also, somehow work on getting people to understand that critcism is the first step to self-improvement. It's not always bad. " "Know your own value first. Perhaps being more confident in yourself is good advice in overcoming the fear of negative evaluation. Again, criticism is the first step towards being a better person/employee. And take it with a grain of salt if you think your boss is being unfair. " 41.87840271 -87.68520355 -1

I don't feel that I have been given the training and information to perform my job to the expectations of my supervisor, but that sounds like an excuse when I try to address it. There are changes I would like to make within my department that would improve our abilities to perform our work, yet I do not feel confident ""asking"" for permission to make these changes because they involve employees who are not favored by the supervisor. It is obvious who is in good graces within our library and who is not. This creates unneeded artificial divisions between staff and departments. " I wish I knew. Perhaps seek strategies for how to identify and preemptively address the areas of work performance that create the fear. Read on and implement how to defuse a bully (if that is the particular situation). "Learn to couch work expectations, even failures, in strength-based language. Look at what was learned in the process, not first that it failed. How will this experience and knowledge improve the next situation? " 33.75270081 -78.90709686 -1

Looking back, I couldn't really know that because I wasn't sharing my perspective and others might have also been holding back but been in agreement with me and waiting for someone else to speak first. " You have to get along with people and be pleasant to work with. But this should not affect your ability to speak your mind and have colleagial disagreements. We limit our effectiveness if we worry about what others will think of us. We also should put our libraries and patrons first and do what it right for them and not what is right for ourselves and sometimes that means voicing unpoular ideas. "If every evaluation is positive, it does not help you to grow. Also, sometimes personalities do not mesh and you will not always get along well with everyone. The concern should be about doing what needs do be done and doing it well, and these are not evaluations on your personality. " 40.10949707 -88.21230316 -1
