My husband's KRAs

It is the new year. Every year, in the beginning of the year, companies make the employees think about their goals and the Key Result Areas (or KRAs) that would be used for measuring their performance at the work place.

I've decided that I too need to assess my husband's performance. The following are the KRAs that shall now apply to him with immediate effect. Of course he doesn't know it (No, he doesn't read my blog!!!!). Go thru' it. Tell me if you want to make additions to it; but if you're planning to use it, don't feel free because I need royalties.
