For example, if someone doesn't manage to get a program done, I'm not going to add something else to them.<BR/>The job jar is really more to stop them from forgetting little tasks or being late for meetings. So if someone forget to turn in a weekly report or is late for a staff meeting (which usually doesn't happen because they were too busy but because they simply forgot), I ask them to do a small task (e.g. distributing flyers for something, helping me sort some paperwork, etc.). They know that if they don't complete this task, they will get something else done - and it's usally something they can do that day or within the next two days, so they'll remember to get it done. <BR/>When they're struggling to get those bigger tasks done, I use the usual tactics (conversations, staff evaluations, letters in their file, etc.).StudentAffairs.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13266255605387160749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893365793210828610.post-63406535721492988712008-02-13T11:27:00.000-08:002008-02-13T11:27:00.000-08:00Hey, I read about your job jar concept and I was wondering how you enforce that? For me, when my RAs don't get a task done, adding another task to their plate usually just snowballs and becomes so hard to get them to accomplish everything they need to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
