Here is a list that a group I facilitated came up with.

Clarity

 

• A clear understanding of expectations — “the Goal”;
• Time and authority parameters (prioritizing);
• And a little on why/how it fits with the bigger picture.

Independence

 

• Some freedom to exercise choices, operate with a level of independence on how to proceed with work.
• And continued opportunities to learn, so that our ability to make good choices is always growing.

Ability to Plan

 

• We like to be able to plan things out, know as early as possible about projects, to minimize surprises and make things go well. Helps for cross-training/coverage.
• The more we get things ‘in process’, the easier it is to remain flexible for last minute requests, help others.

Tools

 

• Being able to predict and gather the supplies needed;
• Having tools in good working order (computers, printers, copiers, scanners, technology)
