New 20yr younger supervisor wants me (as well as her other employees) to come up with our personal action plan to improve our communication with each other. I'm now controlling and a difficult person. Never mind that it takes another co-worker over 10weeks to address a request I made!
What self improvement things can I write that will suffice as an "action plan". I started typing one but would like some input from you all. </div></div>Wow. That happened to me one time. Got this new manager with a head full of the latest mgmt fads. Day one she wanted a "G&O (Goals and Objectives) Action Plan" (same book as your new supervisor, eh?) with at least five goals and five objectives, one paragraph each. (Never did find out what the difference is between goals and objectives.) I turned in some boilerplate.
At our hour-long meeting to discuss the G&O Action Plan I made the mistake of saying, in response to a question on what complaints I had, that spending all this time defining Gs and Os distracted from accomplishing my main G&O, namely, doing my actual job well.
It all turned out for the best. I liked my new job better and it paid more, too. And Miss G&O got canned about 18 months later because the department pretty much fell to pieces under her "leadership", which I kind of felt proved my point.
