Simple Wisdom Tip #49: What Does Success Look Like?

The biggest problem in the workplace today is unclear expectations.  A boss and employee have never clarified, clearly and in writing, what is expected of the employee which leads to untold misunderstandings and frustration. The best question to kick off this discussion is, “What does success look like?”.  Agreeing ahead of time how to define success at the end of the next six months, one year, or whatever time period one chooses is a great way to focus the issue, and will lead to clarity on both sides.  It is a common sense practice that will pay large dividends.
