As a contractor I had to make the most of the time I was contracted to a company. I would be given a set of job goals and be expected to reach them in the time I was there.
Although most of the goals were above what any one person could hope to get.
Now as a full time employee I still set goals and try to meet them. My boss is on the east coast and I report to him, when he is available which is about once ever three months or so.
My question is as a boss or employee, how do you set your goals? Do you just wait for some thing to come up or do you get into things? I do not to sit and wait I go out and look for things to do.
If I see some one looking lost at a computer or trying to do something that will not work, I jump in and try to help.
Do you tell your IT people to do this or do you do this?
Most people that I have worked with would rather wait for a call then jump in and help.
What do you think?
