The main reason is that the manager is in the best position to assess a worker's performance.

I mean managers assign and monitor employees work directly.
96
Therefore, they know how quickly and effectively employees perform tasks.
97
In addition, managers are the best people to give the detailed and constructive feedback to employees.
98
Performance appraisals should also aim to improve employee skills.
99
And considering managers' many years of work experience, they are able to provide workers with informative feedback.
100
For these reasons, I think it's a great idea to allow managers to evaluate their employees' performance.

Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
