I had to write a couple of negative comments on my annual evaluation of one of my department members. I never handle criticisms well, and I don't think any of us in the department do. (S)he didn't.
So I did what I've done before, negotiated. If he would address the topics of my comments in her/his self-evaluation, I would back off from what I had written a bit---still list the factual component, but note that (s)he was addressing it.
I think I held my own better today than I have in the past. Am I growing in integrity or just stubbornness? More the latter I suspect.
Another year of being chair and I am done with this sort of thing, for a while anyway.
