Self-Appraisal -- first cut

There are no expectations set but evaluation is based on some assumed expectations. Prioritization should be top down and it should clearly be mentioned that this is your first priority and this is next. You cannot say that all is equal and use your discretion, How can I if I don’t know what the top really wants. The clarity of vision coming from top cannot be blurred and ambiguous. Thus bottomline would be clearly defined and I will know what top achieve and then will plan accordingly.

The dynamics in solution work environment does not allow you to respond in a structured way. The request in system are random in nature and far in between, you also cannot predict their entry and exit points but you are expected to bring some structure to it.
It may seem to you that your intervention has helped bring order but I can claim that final work product lifecycle could have been reduced by a month without it.
The reason being increasing the team unnecessary just because others did not have work and giving task in random way to resources who did not take similar work in last one year, avoided it is how I would put it. One senior resource is a good individual contributor but is uncomfortable in working with people much junior.
We were putting effort on feasibility and would have graduated to completion just after that. But then more people and one senior person conflict with team and manager and too much micromanagement too soon spoilt the party. Unnecessary tension is not well received. Even I would have passed on the tension but other people issues were nipped in the bud.
Should a solution development team be accountable for failure to market or sell their product features?
Should email be used as a stick with recording every one-to-one conversation and also the warnings with CC to all? Is that mark of respect or distrust? You are essentially telling the superiors that this guy is taking a risk and if something goes wrong then only he is responsible for the consequences and I want to wash off my hands because I had already earned with this email? In solutions you need to take calculated risk based on certain assumptions which you know will not work against you.
My key strengths were empathy. Do you think empathy alone can achieve so much?
There is a separate forum for discussing 360 degrees, why should you have its inputs here?
