Set a shared, written bar with each person, because no one can meet an expectation they cannot see, and most performance problems begin unspoken.

What is expected of you in this role, in plain terms

A few clear goals for the period ahead, specific enough to know if they were met

How we will both know you are meeting the bar

What support you need from me to get there
