Thanks for the great comments, tweets, and e-mails about yesterday’s post<\/a>. It sounds like the idea of modular job descriptions for small arts organizations struck a chord among those who work in such environments, and\/or design and develop HR strategy for them.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
A few “bonus edition” ideas evolved from the initial idea of individual cards with discrete job functions on the front and metrics of high performance on the back. Among them:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • Staff retreats: Using time together as a staff to create these cards, defining the range of job functions required to deliver the mission in vital and sustainable ways.<\/li>\n
  • Reality checks: Asking staff members to place each function card with the person they think currently has primary responsibility for that function (with round two being who they think SHOULD have responsibility).<\/li>\n
  • Redesign: Gathering the function cards that NOBODY wants, and reframing them in a way that makes them palatable.<\/li>\n
  • Bridging: Considering those functions that seem to be perpetually discussed but never advanced, and drafting a new card to give to someone (for which, they get to give back one of their current cards).<\/li>\n
  • Cards on the table: Displaying everyone’s current hand in a public way — outside the door of their office or entry to their cubicle — to remind everyone who’s doing what, and how they might take part in ensuring success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    I think we may have a product here. Who’s with me?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
