Men and women who | Men and women who understand the deadline for everything, but the point of nothing. | ||
Those | Those those blessed folk who are employed to assess your [[compliance]] with measurable quantitative criteria because — not being [[subject matter expert]]s — they have no means of assessing anything else. | ||
Your | Your department’s commitment—probably given in a moment of weakness or inattention—to review annually the firm's fleet of template [[confidentiality agreement]]s is a fertile hunting ground for the operational incidents which are the [[IA]] employee’s meat and drink. It will not matter whether anyone used the template, much less that there was nothing wrong with it — your failure to do what you committed to do, [[quod erat demonstrandum]] is grounds for severe censure. Similarly, a fellow hazards instant dismissal should he not complete all [[computer based training]] by the designated time — there will be many system-generated email reminders, make no mistake — no matter how pointless the topic<ref>Health and safety in employment and records management are always good ones</ref> or asinine the training on it may be. | ||

The secret, for the most part, is to steer clear of [[service level agreements]], [[key performance indicators]], [[target operating model]]s. Articulate your contribution to the ongoing wellbeing and measurable aspects of your performance. The experienced commercial solicitor is a vessel for ineffable wisdom. His output is incomprehensible genius. So in large part this is quite manageable. | |||
