Need to clarify Parker Contract and with Aaron for paid/unpaid leave, sick leave, etc. Performance review needs to happen, will start with this month - starting with Daily Log of Tasks. Without Daily Log and clear promises - we can't evaluate. I'm hurtin' for clarity on approach: lack of strategy and review is disturbing me and needs to be addressed. I need to define the operations clearly before moving forward. Had long discussion with Kavitha on management issues. At present, I am clear that we need to continue rolling out prototypes - for that we need a Machine Designer. Regarding Opearations Manager - it seems that the keeping operations on track is secondary to clarity attained from review of Daily Log fueled by clarity on tasks (what by when and conditions of satisfaction) fueled by clarity of procedure. It appears that it's my role to define procedures - can't outsource it - just learn from industry standards and have these reviewed. Need to followup with Bill from Emily on Enneagram, and Katherine's Executive Profile, and some other links on EI, and put dates on my last Shuttleworth Quarterly Review and Executive Director job description.
