Some examples of what RR&Es are not
A standard form. There is no required template or standard
form for RR&Es. Individuals and their supervisors should use
an approach that is most valuable for them.
A list of tasks and activities. The focus of your RR&Es
should be on accountability and outcomes, not specific tasks
and activities.
A contract. The RR&Es process and related written materials
do not present a “contract” between individuals and their
Some frequently asked questions
Who develops my RR&Es? You are responsible for developing your own RR&Es. You will work closely with your supervisor in doing
this. Whenever appropriate, ask your customers, suppliers, and teammates for feedback as well. Some people find it helpful to start
with a generic description of RR&Es for a similar job. Sometimes it may be useful for employees with similar jobs to brainstorm
about their respective roles and possible responsibilities and expectations. Although these can both be effective ways to get started
and share ideas, in the end your RR&Es will need to be personalized and you will need to take responsibility for them.
Should my RR&Es differ from those of a co-worker with the same job title? Yes. Although there may be common elements,
your RR&Es should be tailored to your own distinctive circumstances. Someone with the same job title will not have exactly the
same knowledge, skills and opportunities to contribute as you. As a result, your RR&Es will not be identical. Even identical twins
have unique fingerprints and people with the same job titles will have different RR&Es.
How often should my RR&Es change? As often as capabilities or opportunities change. Just as a sports team must rethink its
lineup every time the competition changes or an individual’s performance varies, flexible companies must revise RR&Es whenever
change can improve the team’s effectiveness.
If an activity isn’t specifically mentioned in my RR&Es should I not do it? Not necessarily. We expect everyone to use their
initiative and contribute to realizing their group’s vision. Your RR&Es will not cover everything. As a result, from time-to-time it will
make sense for you to divert attention to things that have not been discussed in advance with your supervisor or mentioned in your
RR&Es.
What if my RR&Es overlap with someone else’s? Teamwork is important to our success. Your RR&Es are likely to overlap with
those of others in some areas. When this happens, discussions with team members and with your supervisor will make it easier to
avoid missed opportunities and will help you to coordinate your efforts with others and collaborate, as appropriate.
