Case Interview Prep

Answer: A - Darcy should measure effectiveness based on how well she achieves the correct pre-set goals and objectives.

Key Takeaway: Effectiveness is about achieving the correct goals. In order to determine if an employee is effective or not, you will need to first determine what the appropriate goals are for that employee and then determine whether or not they have succeeded in achieving those goals. If the employee is deemed not effective, consider whether the issue is that they are striving for the wrong goals or whether they are simply not able to achieve the correct goals.
