RESULTS Are NOT:
Consistent across teams
Stable over the employee’s lifetime
Simple to create and manage
An easy fix
For every organization
Or for every employee
DON’T:
•Just fill the requisition.
•Assume the job is full time, permanent hire.
•Post and pray
•Lose the opportunity to re-design the job.
New Job Openings?
DO:•Ask a lot of questions, starting with the Five Why’s.•Work with the hiring manager to figure out what result she’s really looking for.•More pre-hire planning.
Case Study: Candidate Profile
Your life-long Director of Capital Projects, Samantha, has another opening on the fundraising team. She often hires former volunteers, who leave after running their first few events on staff. She has not been successful finding and keeping well-connected, passionate leaders who can and will, “Make the ask” and do the hard work of fund-raising and event management year in and year out. Help Samantha focus on RESULTS in writing an accurate job description.

Case Study: Not Cutting It
The Board has asked you to help them with an issue at their level. Mrs. Diamond almost always finds a way to grab the spotlight, and get attention for her involvement with your nonprofit. She does none of the hard work of Board membership, however. She hasn’t attended the last 6 meetings and, when gently confronted, said, “Let’s face it, the publicity I bring is much more valuable than sitting around in meetings.” She has been known to disagree publicly with board decisions made in her absence. Use RESULTS to help her understand the problem.

Case Study: Sincere Samantha
The fact is, Samantha may be part of the problem on the Capital Projects team. Yes, the economy is down. But donations are down 35% in the last three years. And Samantha’s still working hard, but the results just aren’t what they need to be. You’ve gotten complaints that she’s a control freak who doesn’t listen to anyone’s ideas and doesn’t trust her team to work as hard as she does. Some people call her a martyr. Others call her a jerk. Help Samantha focus on RESULTS.

Case Study: Sleepy Siro
• Siro used to be a client. With the help of the organization, he got himself together, and volunteered with you for years. He’s now a paid worker, in the warehouse. Siro has been late a lot lately, and has been caught sleeping in his truck while clocked in. His boss never said anything, figuring it was part of the organization’s mission to cut Siro some slack. Use PERFORM to talk to Siro, AND his boss.
