Amber is a manager of a new employee. She asked her employee to analyze next quarter’s profits and provide her with a report with the findings. Which objective feature is missing from this request?
  1. Specific
  2. Measurable
  3. Achievable
  4. Relevant
  5. Time-frame
Explanation
Answer: E - The request does not provide a deadline for completing the analysis and report.

Key Takeaway: All requests should include a deadline so that the employee will know what is expected of them for completion timing. This helps facilitate on-time completion of tasks and also helps with prioritization. If the request is a long-term request, it is also helpful to provide intermediate deadlines and progress updates. Additionally, once the deadline is established, it is the manager’s responsibility to follow-up with the employee to ensure that the deadline was met.
