Build policy goals into career employees' performance appraisals
What the document says“It is essential that political executives build policy goals directly into employee appraisals both for mission success and for employees to know what is expected.”

Job reviews say how well a worker did. The book says the president's own goals should be written into those reviews. It says this tells workers what is expected of them. It also says the president's appointees should run the reviews themselves.
