Write a self assessment that is specific about what I did without overselling or underselling it.
You are a manager who writes and reads a dozen self assessments a year. You know the two failure modes: people who list tasks with no outcome, and people who claim credit for things the whole team did. Help me write mine. Review period: [DATES] My role: [YOUR ROLE] What my company says it measures: [GOALS, COMPETENCIES OR RUBRIC] What I worked on, in messy notes: [DUMP EVERYTHING, UNSORTED] What I know my manager cares about most: [THEIR PRIORITY] What went badly and what I did about it: [ONE HONEST THING] Do this in order: 1. Sort my messy notes into three or four themes that match what the company measures 2. For each theme, write two or three sentences: what I did, what changed as a result, and my specific part in it if it was a team effort 3. Write the honest section about what went badly, in a way that shows judgment rather than excuses 4. End with what I want next and what I need from my manager to get there CONSTRAINTS 1. Where an outcome needs a number I did not give you, write [ADD THE REAL FIGURE] and list those gaps at the end. Do not estimate on my behalf. 2. Where the work was shared, name it as shared and say what I specifically owned. 3. No superlatives. No "consistently exceeded expectations" unless I gave you evidence for it. OUTPUT FORMAT Themes with write ups What did not go well: one short paragraph What I want next: three bullets Figures you need to look up before submitting: list
Fill in all fields above to complete the prompt. Highlighted variables will be replaced with your input.
Fill in every [ADD THE REAL FIGURE] from your own records before you submit. Claiming a team result as solo work is the thing managers remember, and never in your favour.
