The halo effect means that the rating you give a subordinate on one trait (such as "gets along with others") influences the way you rate the person on other traits (such as "quantity of work"). Thus, you might rate an unfriendly employee unsatisfactory for all traits, rather than just for the trait "gets along with others."
