Absolute clarity: self-guided exercises

Exercise 1

How clear are you on your role at work?  Try this exercise.  Begin with the heading ‘my job exists to…’  Now answer the question in no more than 20 words.

Exercise 2

Share your job purpose with your boss.  Do they agree with your words, or do you need to work together to co-create absolute clarity?

Exercise 3

Do you have regular 1 to 1s with your boss?  How effective are they?  How could they be more effective?  Using the suggested format on pages 129-132 of Lead Like Mary review their current effectiveness, and discuss with your boss how to make them even more valuable.   And if you’re not having them, insist on them!
