Fill in: 'We ___ a performance improvement plan with specific, measurable goals, so success or failure is a clear fact rather than a matter of opinion later.'
We 'draft a plan' — the standard, simple collocation for writing the concrete terms of a formal improvement process. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Writing goals into a plan that are vague or effectively unachievable can ___ the whole process looking like a formality rather than a genuine path to improvement.'
We say vague goals will 'leave' the process looking like a formality — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting perception. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ progress against the plan weekly in a short, documented check-in, rather than only discussing it once at the very end of the review period.'
We 'track progress' — the standard, simple collocation for monitoring status against agreed goals over time. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ concrete support, like pairing time or a mentor, into the plan, rather than issuing a list of expectations with no help attached to any of them.'
We 'build support' — the standard, simple collocation for embedding practical help within a formal plan. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the outcome clearly at the review meeting, stating plainly whether the goals were met, rather than leaving the result ambiguous for either side.'
We 'state an outcome' — the standard, simple collocation for delivering a clear, final assessment. The other options are less idiomatic here.
