<br />I e e <br />I Doug Kneupper <br />I <br /> . Identify a rising star on the management level. <br />I - I have identified Gwen Goodwin, City Planner, as the Planning <br /> Dept's Rising Star. <br />I . Describe why this person stands out from the others. <br /> - She is recognizable as a rising star because she brings a <br />I professional, calming presence to the depal uuent. I believe it is <br /> her level of formal educatio~ her years of experience and her <br /> maturity that affords her this distinction. <br />I . Describe areas you want this person to improve in. <br /> - There are specific activities within the Planning Dept. that need to <br />I be improved upon and I believe Gwen will be able to meet these <br /> challenges. <br />I - She will need to develop a strong rapport with the Planning & <br /> Zoning Commission. They will need to rely on her professional <br /> opinions and her thoughts regarding many development related <br />I actions. In turn, Gwen will need to be able to interpret directives <br /> from the Commission and conversations with the members and <br />I gain their trust as a professional staff member. <br /> - Gwen will need to attain a strong command of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance and Development Ordinance. This will allow her to <br />I demonstrate confidence when discussing development issues. In <br /> addition, a thorough knowledge of the Codes will help Gwen <br />I recognize the shortcomings in the documents and recommend <br /> changes. <br /> - Gwen will need to bring some consistency to the development <br />I review and authorization process. Currently we have good Codes <br /> to follow and enough personnel; however, we seem to not follow <br />I through on key issues. <br /> . Describe what you plan to do to continue this person's growth. <br />I - To promote Gwen's growth, I plan to create a motivational <br /> climate. Utilizing empow\:,uuent techniques, I will provide <br /> training in all applicable areas and provide resources to get the <br />I jobs completed. Since genuine and lasting motivation is internal, <br /> and only comes from within, I plan to exchange the effort, <br />I productivity, and quality services that Gwen will provide with <br /> compensation, recognition, and encouragement to promote self- <br /> worth. <br />I <br />
