As a young working stiff, articulating concepts like this did not enter my mind. However, remembering back, the thoughts were clear, if not spoken: What's my job? Does it matter? How am I doing? Does anyone care? Clear line of sight, effective feedback, support and encouragement, meaningful rewards. What could be better? The question about performance management, “What does the working person actually think?” made me stop and remember. As a young working stiff, articulating concepts like this did not enter my mind. However, remembering back, the thoughts were clear, if not spoken:

The problem for me is keeping this up to date. Do you have any suggestions on how to make this process a little more fun or interesting or valuable such that I won't view this as a weekly inconvenience?
