STORY & REFLECTION
Two work samples for a growth conversation
Guidance-based illustration · Two work samples for a growth conversation
Illustrative scene: An employee wants a new role but says only, “I have worked hard,” during review. The manager cannot connect that claim to the responsibilities of the next role.
Next time they bring two pieces of work, explain the problems solved and results observed, name a skill gap, and ask what evidence would matter in six months.
OPM describes performance management as planning, monitoring, developing, rating, and rewarding. Agreed goals and measures help people understand which results their effort should serve.
Growth is not a prize for silent endurance. Evidence gives both sides a clearer next step.
