Performance Management - When Expectations Are Not Clear...
>>
Introduction>
> There were two incidents, which inspired me to
> write this write-up, “When Expectations are not
> clear”. Sometime back, I had this interaction with a
> CEO of one of the most famous company in Bangalore,
> in his words, “it is impossible to give clear-cut
> job responsibilities and job specifications to an
> employee”. Second incident was e-mail from one of my
> friend from Noida, stating, “Sanjeev, I expected a
> lot from you but you failed”. Well, having
> expectations are important and equally important is
> to communicate it properly.
>
> Why Expectations?>
> Before I start expecting anything from others, I
> must be clear as what I am expecting from myself.
> Those, who have no expectations from themselves,
> have no right to expect anything from others. So,
> just ask your self:
>
> - What are your expectations from yourself?> -
Where do you see yourself in next 5-7 yrs?
> - How you wish to be remembered by your family
> members, your friends, your sub-ordinates and your
> colleagues?
>
> Expectations in Relations>
Imagine, if you don’t know, what are the expectations of:
> - Your parents
> - Your Children
> - Your gurus/teachers/faculties
> - Your Students
> - Your Spouse
> Your Friends, family members and people around you
>
>
> Don’t presume things? Don’t think that everybody
> knows everything? If there are no expectations,
> there will be no challenge, no passion, no
> motivation, nothing. That is where, I mentioned,
> that “Silence is a crime”
>
> Expectations in Profession/work-place
>> How often do you appraise your

> - What are your expectations from your
> employees/team-members?
> - What are the parameters to measure their
> performance?
> - Have you communicated to them?
> - What will be the consequences, if they fail?
> - What will be the rewards, if they exceed the
