Some situations that come to mind are
I want to hear from you how good or not I'm doing
A year-end review for a salary increase or a promotion What was my impact on the overall company objectives?
What do I want to accomplish in the near or far future and how the current company aligns (or not) with it?
what I have learned and accomplished in last year that is valuable in the marketplace
Let’s talk about solutions
From those scenarios, we can start gathering some requirements
Before I expect Recognition, there needs to be an intention. So I need a simple way to provide intention.
As we capture intention we also need an expected outcome.
I don't think it is fair to be reviewed in something that I didn't agree with, so there needs to be an agreement.
Before I can commit to a mission, I first need to know what the mission is and how progress is going to be measured
There needs to be a way to provide company or team objectives
Now I need to define my own principles, what is it that I want to become in the next 2 to 5 years
What is important for me? maybe Family, money, status, customer or business impact
How the company aligns with that personal vision
Next, there is the whole skill and competencies
Could this be like a social network for skills?
I need a quick way to capture what I practice week by week or day by day, I want a report summarizing where I'm putting my efforts month by month
Finally, unsolicited feedback. I want people to be able to share good or bad feedback
What about the users
Time, I don't plan on spending more than 5 minutes a week
Company Agnostic, it doesn't matter if I change companies, it's still about me
Private, My plan may include information that I'm not comfortable sharing with my current employer
Before you go
The next time, I'll continue with the manager’s and the organization’s perspectives
Before you go, I need your help.
I want to ask you a few questions and see how far off I am from reality 🎯
