If supervisors give too much praise they'll find employees using their comments to support claims that the employee automatically deserves a higher salary. On the other hand, if supervisors are overly critical they stifle an employee's potential to achieve. Worse still is the supervisor who never takes advantage of the performance appraisal process. This person fails to help the employee, the organization, or the supervisor, him or herself.
