A good boss will ensure his employees know EXACTLY what he thinks at all times.

In most organizations the employees write their own reviews first, then the boss writes theirs. Mine and my guys are very similar because we give each other constant feedback, both directions.

I suppose. I am viewing it more from the perspective of a student getting a letter of rec from a professor. Different dynamics.

Totally different

Sent from :[user not found]: and :alpo:
Yup. I think I would rather :nope: and find someone else to give me a letter if a professor or likewise told me "just write it yourself and I'll sign it"..

This thing is a pain in the ass to write.
Is the letter for you?
Yes it is.

Writing the letter of recommendation for myself on my commanders behalf. Its odd. But how the military works.

When you want their signature you do all the work for them.

I've had to do this before and had people that work for me do it.

Write your own recommendation, boss modifies and sends it along. Good exercise to learn how to effectively tout your skills and accomplishments.

Fully agree. However it is exceptionally difficult for someone without strong writing skills. And a first time.

I'm pretty humble, I don't like to toot my own horn and even feel weird when people compliment me on things.
Thats kinda where I am with it. But I need to do it.

The my leadership all the way to the boss will make changes and it will only look like 25% of what I had originally written. So it somehow seems better to me.

This! We are pretty good about getting feedback from our leadership. Otherwise you will never know what is expected of you and how to make corrections to your work.

It is very likely that when the letter lands on my commanders desk I will be called into his office for a review and to talk about what my overall intentions are with the letter. He already knows that its being drafted and what the program is. Now its just to see me face to face and talk it all over one final time.
