Evaluation Checklist/Questionaire .

------------------------------------------

1.    It is obvious to everyone that I really enjoy my work.  My enthusiasm is contagious.

2.    I routinely display good organizational skills.  I can create order out of chaos and effectively prioritize my own activities and time.

3.    I am an expert in my field.  Others depend on me for my technical skill.

 

 

4.    I stay focused on what is most important for the work at hand.  I understand how to prioritize issues.  

5.    I remain flexible and adaptable even when the going gets tough.  If an opportunity presents itself, I am willing to change plan to take advantage of it.  If unexpected problems arise I am able to make whatever change is needed to keep the work moving.

6.    When conflict occurs I can help find a resolution.  I am known to always work for the Win-Win situation.

7.    I stay positive.  Even when events do not go “according to plan”, I manage to find the silver lining and make good use of the outcomes.

8.   I hire the right people.  If one of my reports is not doing well in their job, I make the necessary changes so that they will be successful.

9.    I am successful at creating a productive environment in which employees can work together, share ideas and stay motivated about their work.

10. I
 set realistic goals and clearly define what constitutes success.  My reports know how I will measure their work
       

11.    I make staff development a priority.  I delegate responsibility and assign challenging work as a means of helping staff grow.  I allow staff to make their own decisions.

 

12.    I know how to build morale.  My staff understands the importance of their work at the “big picture” level.  Everyone on my team shares in the fruits of success.

13.    It is clear to everyone that I enjoy working with people.  I have established a rich network of contacts and know how to maintain effective business relationships.

 

14.    I am a good communicator.  I listen well, am receptive to new ideas and understand the value of both giving and receiving constructive criticism.  My oral and written communications are clear

and easily understood.

15.    I put effort into making good and timely decisions.  I will reopen an issue if necessary, but usually I get it right the first time.  I take responsibility for the decisions I make.   16 . I do enough hands-on work to keep in touch with what my staff is doing.  By doing these assignments I show my staff what I expect from them   

 

17.    I am a good problem solver, with the ability to “think outside the box” when necessary.  I am able to team with others in developing a creative solution to difficult problems.
