6 Steps to
Exceeding Performance
Expectations

2. Understanding Your Role
In order to excel in your position you must understand your role and responsibilities
How does your position contribute to the project or business’s success.
If uncertain about the aspects of your job,
seek clarification
Ask for a detailed job description for you to follow (You should ask your supervisors, but I can also provide for you.)

3. Know the Difference between a Task and Goal
A goal, simply defined an objective within a specific period of time –intended to be strategic
A task, is a specific step within the process of a particular activity
List broad goals rather than specific, with tasks need to achieve that goal and document your objectives for the year.

4. Goals must be relevant with reasonable “stretch”
When establishing goals, ask yourself if the goal is meaningful
Goal should be relevant to the work you do everyday.
Don’t set to many goals- this is an issue of quality, not quantity
Goals should have some “stretch” in them to require you to learn and/or do something new
Efficiency is a good area to focus on when establishing goals.

5. View your goals as a work plan
Make your goals your mission for the year.
Keep goals current and visible, and track progress and contributions
Update your goals to reflect changes in your roles and responsibilities.
Goals are set to achieve work-based objectives, but they can also yield personal growth rewards, in professional, development, and earnings potential.

6. Be your own Advocate
If you don’t have access to the tools or training needed to achieve an objective, be sure to ask for it.
Remember that no one pays closer attention to your work than you.
Document your accomplishments and make your boss aware of milestone accomplishments.
If you reach a stumbling block on the way, seek advice on how to best resolve the issue and continue on your path

7. Solicit ongoing feedback
Have an open dialogue with your boss throughout the year.
Take time to check in
This is your time to take a proactive role in
managing your career
Hard work will play a role in your growth
