Last week we wrote a blog post giving you six ways you can recognize your introverted employees. This time, we’re talking about extroverts—those who truly believe in “the more, the merrier” and enjoy working in groups more often than not.

Just like with mid-year reviews, year-end reviews can be nerve-wracking for both manager and employee. Your review can sometimes make or break performance—either making them feel bad and lowering their productivity or inspiring them to do better and reach for the sky.

As all the radio waves have been attesting since BEFORE Thanksgiving, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” December is a wonderful month filled with family time, religious (or non-religious) observances and celebrations, cool weather creeping into the air, and feelings of nostalgia warming our hearts.

As you probably already know, introverts and extroverts are quite different on the personality scale. They operate differently in various situations and environments, including the workplace.

Recognition goes wrong all the time. Between Steve Harvey crowning the wrong Miss Universe and John Travolta butchering Idina Menzel’s name pronunciation, formal recognition has at times earned a laughable reputation. While the ceremony slip-ups your organization has may be less public than that of our friends Steve and John, your employees will take note of and remember a few faux pas.
