If you are having performance discussions (formal and a part of your organizational process or not), I (and Steve) urge you to ask them his questions to them. Do You Really Need a Meeting to Make a Decision? You know you need to give them feedback. Are you asking for it yourself in a serious way?

Organizational psychologist Chris Argyris, a Harvard professor, uses what he calls the “ Ladder of Inference ” to explain how we take actions based upon beliefs–and how our beliefs, in turn, lead us to select observational data.
