Shared Thoughts On Effective Bullets

No matter what the task, if you can have either Better/Faster/Cheaper as an impact, you are an effective writer as any reader can identify with them.
- Use the real numbers (saved 10 hours, saved $10K, etc).
- Avoid the use of percentages (unless absolutely necessary).
Use real numbers when talking about group sizes, etc. Instead of saying "over 500 attended" (or the ever-popular 500+), use the real number, i.e. 537.
- Real numbers show the reader you did research.
If your tell your subordinates what is expected from them in THEIR EPR/OPR process, they will be able to provide you the real data and the impact, making a more powerful EPR and growing a future great supervisor.
- Take the time and cultivate this ability!
