This is a sign that I tape to my door during the final two weeks of every December. I’m an “open door” guy, so the fact that my door is closed and this sign is on the door, is eye catching to people who drop by for a visit. The message is tongue-in-cheek, but it is meant to convey that I’m busy doing something important right now.
This is performance review time of year. I think that performance reviews are important. I like to spend a fair amount of time on them because I want them to be valuable to the person receiving them. Sloppy or incomplete performance reviews aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.
I personally do performance reviews for the Parks & Recreation Director, Community Development Director, Public Works Director, Police Chief, Fire Chief, Human Resources Manager, IT Manager, Finance Manager, Facilities Manager, Communications Manager, City Clerk, Assistant to the City Manager and my Executive Assistant. For those of you counting at home, that’s 13. They’re all due by January 1st each year. I’ll get most of them done by then, but not all, unfortunately.
OK. I’ve got to get back to work. I’ve got six done and seven more to go.
