A Day of Prayer and Vision

By Steve Edlin, ma, mfcc

"Performance Review - Yuck!" This is how I used to view the periodic job reviews we had in Campus Crusade. The part that got me was the "performance" part. It felt too much like someone looking over my shoulder, ready to pounce on anything I hadn't done right. To be honest, too many performance reviews are conducted in that fashion. They focus on what isn't being done properly and ignore what is being done well. This is both wrong and unhelpful.

Another term for such reviews is "development” review. I like the word "development" much better because it focuses on growth. A “development” review allows me to see where I am in the growth process. It will show me the areas where God has developed me and the areas that still need development.
