how redundant do these reports become (both to fill out and to read)?
does this lead to a face to face meeting between supervisors and direct reports?
Jason,
Since we've started using this tool, it's been all positive. It's bringing some great accountability in lots of different areas of responsibility.
The form is on the computer and it's now being emailed so keeping and referring back to electronic copies to measure progress is very easy.
It's also a great tool to make sure your working on the things/areas that matter most.
I have weekly one-on-one 1/2hr meetings with my boss and all of my direct reports. The 5/15 report is a great starting point for our weekly one-on-ones.
Thanks for your comment and question.

That's very cool that it's been a positive experience. In my experience, it seems hard to bring clarity to a persons role in fulfilling the overall vision of a ministry. Any tool that helps define that role and keeps someone focused sounds good to me. Thanks!
Hey Todd,
I appreciate your blog.
I have been thinking about the 5/15 report, which I like. Do you do it with volunteers?

Chuck,
Thanks for your comment. I have not used the 5/15 report with volunteers. However, this is a very interesting idea and I'll have to give it some thought.
You've given me an idea for a blog post. . . .
