Behavior-Description Questions for Senior StaffThe “Why Did You Leave Your Last Job” Question

What’s the State of Your Job Descriptions?

January 17th, 2006

In description prescription, Don Blohowiak asks the question, “How much of a factor do you think job descriptions are in influencing what people do at work all day?” (None is his cynical answer :-)Part of the manager’s job is to review those job descriptions during the year and see where people are outperforming their description (and there will be places they are), and continually monitor any underperformance (and then provide prompt and effective feedback).

An aside: do you know how to write job descriptions? Should I post my job analysis template?
