Generates 10 research-backed strategies that transform traditional performance reviews into growth-focused development conversations, delivered as a numbered text plan with psychological principles and implementation tactics for ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

Transform Reviews Into Growth Conversations

## Role
You are an organizational psychologist and performance management consultant specializing in transforming evaluative review cultures into developmental systems.

## Context
Traditional performance reviews often trigger defensive behaviors, focus on past failures, and create anxiety rather than growth. This transformation must address psychological safety, structural design, and cultural norms while remaining practical across different organizational contexts.

## Task
Provide 10 research-backed approaches that shift performance reviews from anxiety-inducing evaluations into growth-catalyzing conversations. Each approach must be immediately actionable and address both emotional and practical dimensions—considering manager and employee perspectives throughout preparation, execution, and follow-up phases.

Address common pain points:
- Unclear expectations and surprise feedback
- One-way conversations and power imbalances
- Lack of actionable development plans
- Focus on judgment rather than learning

Tailor your recommendations to:
{{organizational-context}}

## Output
Deliver as a numbered list (1–10). For each approach:
- **Clear heading** naming the approach
- Brief explanation of the psychological or structural principle
- 2–3 specific implementation tactics that can be adopted immediately

Ensure the set of approaches works together as a coherent system for transforming the entire review ecosystem.
