We decided to turn job descriptions into a useful tool: The Position Outcomes Description. In just a few minutes you can write your own Position Outcomes Description to help you:
- Organize your work
- Get more done
- Impress your boss

Monday’s Tip: This is not an HR Thing. You need to do this for you – don’t wait for your organization. A Position Outcomes Description will help you be more organized, focus on the right things, and get more done.
Tuesday’s Tip: Focus on Specific Outcomes. Don’t talk about process and compliance at this point. What are your outputs? What would happen if you got hit by a bus?
Wednesday’s Tip: Don’t forget about Leadership. What you need to accomplish is important, but equally so is how you get those things done. You must consider your leadership and interpersonal competencies
Thursday’s Tip: Manage Stakeholders. Where does your position intersect with others? Figure out who your key stakeholders are, and proactively manage those relationships
Friday’s Tip: Measure Your Performance. Not everything is easily measured, but you need to try to assess how you are doing on key business goals.
