Just means we need to spend more time testing the measures to make sure they stack up.Paul Dervanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094512742232736380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939659229212767042.post-39489939198579474292009-03-02T11:03:00.000+00:002009-03-02T11:03:00.000+00:00I've worked in agencies where results were nebulou...I've worked in agencies where results were nebulous at the best of times and very often your performance would be judged purely on social skills rather than success at what your job description actually was. I've seen good people come and go purely because they didn't fit in with the prevailing culture. I've experienced it first hand too. I'm not sure that nearly enough companies have that clearly defined structure. Personality very often gets in the way of clarity of requirements. Sometimes too it's hard to clearly delineate goals, of course, but in general terms I think you're right: managers ought to know how their charges perform against clear criteria. Employees deserve it too.Nick McGivneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603579300515543458noreply@blogger.com
