I'm a people manager of approximately 15 employees and I find it quite challenging to keep track of all the issues and todos with respect to my employees. Given that I use RTM for my private stuff, I though about how to use RTM with my team.

I did not want to use lists because it felt like an overkill, so I went with tags. For each employee I have a tag starting with an underscore, e.g. _martin or _bill (note that my private tags do not start with an underscore).

If I add a todo or mental note for that employee, I immediately tag that todo with _ and decide whether I want to be reminded (add a due date) or not. Clicking on an employee name in the tag cloud on the right shows me everything I need to know when I speak to the employee the next time.
