employee Comments:My strong point and why I came here. I feel confident going into control rooms and on occasion doing more than myjob particularly calls for, such as taking on directing duties. I can handle what comes my way. I pass on informationbetween the different locations for an event and 99% of the time there are no worries. When there are problems ormiscommunication, I deal with them on a case by case basis. Sometimes the solutions work, sometimes they donot. I learn something every single time I step into a control room. By now I know what the networks want andwhat sales wants and what sports wants and I do my best to ensure that everyone is happy.

I'm working through(a bit of loss of confidence, but it improves every day.

Employee Comments:I continue to put together schedules which have become more complex with the addition of Fox/SportSouth events.

Problems are addressed to other departments but little response is garnered, especially on Velocity issues. It willjust take more tries.

Many calls have been made to sports sales, billboard folks and engineering to fix problems while in an event.Engineering has been especially helpful with Velocity issues...many different people are able to help with problemswithin minutes.

Overall Manager Comments:Jilt has a great understanding of her role and contribution to the success of our department. She places a great dealof pressure on herself and at times seems to feel that this diminishes anyone else's confidence in her ability. Herwork on the inner schedule of the department comes without accolades but she continues to meet the expectationsplaced upon her, Jill took the initiative to learn the nbatv boc operations so that she can continue to support the bocswhen her schedule allows. She is an energetic and committed member of our team.

Development Plan - Employee:

Development Plan - Manager:Jill brings a great attitude and work ethic to our department. She is always eager to take on additionalresponsibilities. Jill has a terrific relationship with the entire LEG team and our clients and partners.

She continues to hone her skills within the BOCs working in WTBS BOC and NBATV BOC. For the upcoming year, Iwould like Jill to partner with Dennis to work on her skills to be able to support the TNT BOC and TBS BOCs.

For Jill's continued growth in the LEG Scheduling, I will work with her in soliciting support from the other members ofthe team to double check all the events are covered. I will also work with her to learn SchedulAII that will allow us toenter this information once and provide the necessary reporting to Sr Mgmt.

For the upcoming year, I would like Jill to better understand the big picture of our participation in the success of bothLive Events and operations of the BOCs. That open discussion does not necessarily question the confidence I have inher but more to question our practices and policies.
