		<description>Thanks Dave!  I&#039;m doing my SA today, so this was timely.

One other tip is to review the past year&#039;s MBOs or status reports or whatever you might have.  It&#039;ll refresh your memory, and you know your manager will refer to those as well.

		<description>I agree that an SA is important.  As a manager, I have only so much documentation to rely on to help me in writing the PA.  There are things that people do as part of their everyday jobs that goes undocumented.  So the SA is the perfect place call these things out.

As for writing my SA.  I&#039;m sitting here in front of a blank form as I read your blog post.  It is hard to talk about strengths because you never really know how others perceive you.</description>

		<description>From a manager&#039;s perspective, I&#039;ll agree with the &quot;no surprises&quot; rule. If you haven&#039;t talked about a subject with your manager/report prior to a review, the review is not the time to bring it up.</description>
