Here’s How Google Knows in Less Than 5 Minutes if Someone Is a Great Leader | Inc.com

I may find they may be useful also in my SME work

Here are Google’s leadership evaluation questions:

  1. My manager gives me actionable feedback that helps me improve my performance.
  2. My manager does not “micromanage” (get involved in details that should be handled at other levels).
  3. My manager shows consideration for me as a person.
  4. The actions of my manager show that he/she values the perspective I bring to the team, even if it is different from his/her own.
  5. My manager keeps the team focused on our priority results/deliverables.
  6. My manager regularly shares relevant information from his/her manager and senior leaders.
  7. My manager has had a meaningful discussion with me about career development in the past six months.
  8. My manager communicates clear goals for our team.
  9. My manager has the technical expertise (e.g., coding in Tech, selling in Global Business, accounting in Finance) required to effectively manage me.
  10. I would recommend my manager to other Googlers.
  11. I am satisfied with my manager’s overall performance as a manager.

Then Google employees are asked to complete two other questions: 

12. What would you recommend your manager keep doing?

13. What would you have your manager change?

Notice that only one question, No. 9, asks employees to rate their manager’s hard skills.

Agenda: add permissions list

As part of my work as maintain the Quality Management System in my company I’ve been using WordPress for quite a while. Well, it’s ten years, actually.

I’ve been using Members plugin the add user-roles that follow better the requirements of ISO 9001.

During the years the auditors inspecting my company have checked the distribution list of documents. Using this plugin is easy to define such permissions.

It seems that it does not offer an easy way to output such permissions in a document, so I may want to add it

PS: “agenda” in Latin means “the things that must be done”. Literally. Or “shall be done”.
