Committed v Compliant

Position Agreements are a powerful management tool that communicates
the results an employee is hired to achieve and transfers ownership of
those results to them.
Position Agreement vs Job Description
© 2013 EMyth
A written agreement between a manger and an employee that makes explicit the result the
employee is accountable for in that position and the standards necessary to produce that result.
VS
A job description – the unsatisfactory but common alternative – that is often just a glorified “to do” list that is an organizational formality than a document
which service a greater purpose.
Two Types of Position Agreements

Managerial: Includes the result statements for all direct reports and a greater percentage of strategic work. Non-Managerial: Format used for employees that are not supervising others and have a greater percentage of tactical work.
