OT - Helpful Adjectives to describe us

[SFBayDon]

It is Friday evening in CA and I am starting to write out the performance reviews for my staff to close out 2008. Using the “Effective Phrases for Performance Appraisals" book, they list the usual, dedicated, effective, concise, reliable, trustworthy, helpful, friendly courteous kind…..wait that was the Boy Scouts.

What adjectives have you used or have been used to describe you? Extra points for ones I can actually use for my staff.

For example “unique” can mean many different thing positive and negative.

Looking forward to your help and creativity.

Don

Ha! I think anyone who has written a review has the book. I think I have 3.

Our latest buzz phrase is meeting/achieves/exceeds expectations.

Have fun!

There's this thing on Facebook where you take a test which matches up descriptors starting with the letters of your name. Mine were...

Sexy
Important
Moral
Outspoken
Nocturnal

I think every one of those describes the way I feel about myself, minus sexy. You might just want to give it a try to see what it comes up with.

We had workplace BINGO, but we called it Bulls#it Bingo, it contained things like, Bottom Line, Top Priority, Any core value, team effort, atc....

It was fun to play when we were on conference calls and the others did not know we were playing.

Ummm, I prefer "focused, goal-oriented, imaginative, energetic" and about that "at times" comment....I beg to differ. I am very "consistent and reliable" in that aspect.
