From The Art of Effective Evaluation, an examination of the 10 behaviors of an Effective Evaluator.

Recognize the speaker’s accomplishments.

Simple and to the point, but how can we do this?

We can do the following:

• Highlight where the speaker has met specific project objectives
• Point out where the speaker has done something detailed in the project
• Mention where the speaker has met a personal goal
• Recognize a change made by the speaker based on previous project feedback in the assigned manual

Note that many of these are other behaviors detailed in The Art of Effective Evaluation.
