Dear Praveen

I hope this email finds you in good health.

I’m drafting this mail to provide you clarification with reference to the Annual appraisal discussion which
we had last week before you went to Atlanta, US HQ. I felt that you are not happy with the appraisal and
my feedback provided to you against your annual goals.

I would like to brief you and provide you clarity for the reason in considering you in 5-Block in our
Honeywell Performance and Development (HPD) Tool.

I acknowledge that you are a great talent in our team and demonstrated hard work & sincerity in the
assigned tasks and completed lot of complex projects. I penned below the identified improvement areas
which will enhance your career growth in the organization.

I request you to go through the feedback & let us plan the individual development Plan around the
feedback. I hope that you will take the feedback positive and work toward the same.

Be a Process Oriented Manager: I’m continuously received feedback from internal & external
stakeholders that you are more task oriented than process-oriented Manager, which is in good
way that you focus more on result, But when the situation and result is negative then constantly it
get blamed to the team members instead you own it as a Manager for the failure.

I would like you to recall the meeting related to Delhi airport Second runway project, when project
delivery went in bad shape due to various reasons, you always put forth the delay and blamed it
to the customer without any solid proof of communication or evidence which really caused the
relationship with Delhi airport customer. So, I would like you to focus more on process than task
oriented actions. I hope that it makes sense to you.

Be a People Manager: As I mentioned above when you move to process-oriented Manager then
you will find the gaps in the process than a person executing it. It will help your team members to
approach you in positive way. In multiple instances, I observed that project stakeholders are not
ready to approach you freely due to the strong autocratic style which you represent to the team.
Also, I don’t see any of your team members has been empowered or trained for the succession
and career progression plan in the Tool.

Detailing on Project Issues: My observation during the lucknow airport project, your decision
making on the issues is more on with the experience than detailing out the issues & looking at the
facts and find a shortest critical path to resolve the issue. You can remember the instance where
the Airfield ground lights are flickering, you went with the decision to change the lights instead on
detailing out the technical flaws. Later, it is understood that lights are flickered in the runway due
to the low insulation resistance in the circuit. Quick decision making always benefits when it is
accurately predicted, on critical issue as such this one, we should do detailing to resolve instead
going with short time resolutions.

Considering the above factor, I rated you at Block-5 which denominate standard result and behavior in the
organization, it is not a low rated or under performer to take it in negative way.

I hope that above explanation has given you thoughts which you can emphasize and work on in the
upcoming financial year. I will work with HR to align you in Next Generation Leadership training program
which is planned in dubai, it is highly recognized training in our company, it will give you lot of insights on
people management and critical decision making skills.

Good Luck for your assignment in Atlanta, Let us meet once you are Back to India.
I appreciate and Thank you for your hard efforts which you put in Last financial year for Airport business.
I’m looking forward to work with you in upcoming year & I’m sure , you are going to rock with your results.

Thanks and Regards
