Not what you're looking for?
The textbook case scenario submitted was: Your company has just announced that a new formal performance evaluation system will be used (effective immediately). One of your supervisor's anniversary date is coming up and the human resources (HR) manager has asked you not only to rate this supervisor but to develop a grading form to use for her and other supervisors.
Assess the leadership, interpersonal skills, and earned values on other areas of concentration you deem necessary to rate the overall performance of any supervisor you have worked with, observed, know of, worked for, been supervised by, or supervised. Include your objective reasoning for each assigned grade with an explanation of one or more sentences.
The solution includes development of an actual rating system and provides an example of evaluating a supervisor; including about 700 words.
