AT 48
Specific
Being specific means detailed, particular or focused. A goal is specific when everyone knows exactly what is to be achieved and accomplished. Being specific means spelling out the details of the goal.
![Page 49: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
AT 49
Specific - Example
“Increase productivity” is too general. “Increase the applications processors’
productivity” is more specific because it narrows the scope of the desired outcome.
“Increase the applicant letter output of the applications processors” is the most specific. It specifies a desired outcome.
Specifying the expected outcome is the first step toward creating a SMART goal.
![Page 50: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
AT 50
Measurable
Measurable goals are quantifiable and provide a standard of comparison. Each goal must have a method of measurement that indicates when the goal is reached.
![Page 51: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
AT 51
Measurable
Words like doing it “better,” “more accurately,” or even “precisely” do not provide the quantifiable measurement necessary to determine goal achievement.
![Page 52: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
AT 52
Measurable - Example
“Increase the applicant letter output of the application processors” is a specific statement but to make it measurable we can add “to 40 completed letters per day.”
![Page 53: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
AT 53
Remember
Measurable means you can differentiate among varying levels of achievement.
The more measurable the goal, the less likely there will be any disagreements about the outcome.
By writing a specific and measurable goal, everyone understands the expectation and a determination can be made as to whether or not the goal was actually achieved.
![Page 54: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
AT 54
Attainable
Attainable goals are achievable and possible.
In order to feel motivated about completing a goal, employees must feel that the goal is achievable.
![Page 55: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
AT 55
Attainable - Example
“Increase the applicant letter output of the application processors to 40 completed letters per day,” is possible and achievable if the current level of output is 30 letters per day. If the current output is only four letters per day, the goal would most likely be unattainable.
![Page 56: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
AT 56
Relevant
When developing goals, ask the following questions: Is the goal relevant to University
and department priorities? What will be gained if the goal is
achieved? Are these the outcomes we want
or need?
![Page 57: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
AT 57
Time-Bound
Time-bound means that the goal is regulated by time.
Time constraints encourage action to get tasks completed.
Example: “Increase the applicant letter output of the application processors to 40 completed letters per day by April 30, 2006.”
![Page 58: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
AT 58
Tip: Make Goals Action-Oriented
Action-oriented means that the goal indicates an activity, a performance, an operation, or something that produces results.
Action-oriented goals tell us what is to be done to reach the goal.
The action is indicated by use of an action verb.
![Page 59: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
AT 59
Action Verbs
Action verbs describe the type of activity to be performed. For example:
Evaluate Investigate IncreaseInform Improve CreateDirect Reduce

Avoid These Pitfalls When Developing Planned Outcomes
The Planned Outcome is too vague or broad. Result: The employee may not understand what is expected.
The Planned Outcome can’t be measured. Result: You and the employee may be unable to track progress.
The Planned Outcome is set without the employee’s input. Result: The employee may lack commitment to the Planned Outcome.

Avoid These Pitfalls When Developing Planned Outcomes
The Planned Outcome is unattainable. Result: The employee cannot achieve the outcome and may become demotivated.
The Planned Outcome is set with no time frame for completion. Result: The employee may be unable to prioritize and could miss important deadlines.

Remember
Identification of Planned Outcomes is most effective when it is a collaborative effort between the employee and the supervisor.
The typical employee will have 3 to 5 Planned Outcomes.
Planned Outcomes are not etched in stone.
Good Planned Outcomes: support a department goal;
are outcome-based;
are SMART.

The Competency Dictionary
Is a resource for supervisors and staff
Provides detailed definitions for behaviors that are important for the University.
![Page 71: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Behavioral Indicators
Each Competency has a definition and a set of behavioral skills called Behavioral Indicators.
The Behavioral Indicators are observable behaviors that individuals employ when they are demonstrating a particular competency.
![Page 72: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

Behavioral Indicators - Example
When a staff member is demonstrating Initiative, others will observe the individual seeking information from many different sources before deciding on an approach.
Observing a behavior means you can see or hear a person exhibiting that behavior.

General and Leadership Competencies
The supervisor and employee together will choose three to five competencies from the list and record them in Part 2 of the Performance Management Worksheet.
It is important to choose the three to five competencies that will help the employee achieve his or her Planned Outcomes.
![Page 76: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)

General and Leadership Competencies
All competencies are important, but some are more likely than others to be more relevant to the particular job or Planned Outcomes for the year.
Employees in supervisory roles must select at least two goals from the list of Leadership Competencies – Coaching and Delegation are strongly recommended.
![Page 77: AT 1 Performance Management A Workshop for Wilkes University Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ecf5503460f94bdcda5/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)

Selecting Behavioral Indicators
Once the Competencies are selected, the supervisor and employee agree on three Behavioral Indicators in each Competency that will be performance expectations for that employee.
These Behavioral Indicators will be recorded in Part 2 of the Performance Management Worksheet.
When recording Behavioral Indicators on the worksheet, don’t copy them verbatim. Customize them to be relevant to the employee’s job and Planned Outcomes.
