Andrew, Good points. We go back and forth about job descriptions and how detailed they should be. Sometimes the job description is really about providing hiring guidelines. Once the "right" person is hired, then we think the measurable tasks and objectives need to be spelled out and the formal policies and procedures presented. Sometimes we think that after that the new hire should be left to create the ways to accomplish the tasks. Sometimes they can think of better ways. Sometimes they suggest additional tasks they can work on. It's an interesting process and doesn't work for everyone! Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
