Exceeds Expectations describes a proven method developed by Tricia Berry and Danielle Forget Shield after helping each other evaluate what they suddenly weren't doing right in their respective workplaces. After years of Exceeds Expectations on their performance reviews, both were surprised when Needs Improvement and No Information appeared for some of their respective job responsibilities. Quickly realizing what needed to be improved, they joined forces and created a strategic process designed for performance review and career success: Strategy 1: Understand Job Responsibilities Strategy 2: Define Goals or Objectives Strategy 3: Collect and Communicate Accomplishments Strategy 4: Identify and Address Challenges Strategy 5: Implement Success Methods After implementing the process described in this book in their own careers, Exceeds Expectations reappeared.
