Discuss in depth the e pec a ion from the present and planned projects and keep the task measurable.
Draft a process for continued communication or seek suggestions on how your manager plans on keeping
ack of he a k and deadline assigned to you. Don t be shy to communicate if the expectations do
not match and/or you have a proposal to work on some other tasks within the team.
Ask your manager on how the feedback system would work on the task accountability and appraisals
going forward.
The goal setting discussions should not be just one-a-year-discussion, take time to find out through your
company policies if mid-year reviews are supported and ask your manager if he endorses m l iple
e ie (twice or quarterly) in a year.

Thank you for that smart critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that.
We received a very good book on that matter from our local library and most books exactly where not as
influensive as your information. Im quite glad to see this kind of information which I was searching for a
long time.
