responsibility

opportunity of increased responsibility
outside your job scope, check where
your skills may lack, locate the help you
will need from others and
go for it.

5. 2. Take on the
unexpected

6. Seize opportunities, whilst
getting as much context, planning
and preparation in the time you
have. Don’t be afraid to ask
questions of your manager or
peers, no matter how dumb
they may seem.

7. 3. Help
people

8. Seeing your job as
an opportunity to help people
provides you a greater sense of job
satisfaction and you will feel good.
You get your job done, it is more enjoyable
and you will gain respect
in the process.

stakeholders want and
delivering for them.

job excellently and ensure that your
stakeholders see the full benefit of
your efforts.

12. 5. Succession plan
for your own job

to delegate whilst taking on

flexibility to extend
your job scope and value.

14. 6. Relationships, relationships,
relationships

15. It is easy to forget and not value the
relationships of peers and managers working
around you.
Ensure you nurture those connections that are
most important to you by connecting with them
face-to-face. They will help you in your career
as advisers, prospects and partners.

16. 7. Take a strategic view
– gain altitude

17. Gaining a sense of altitude in what
you are doing makes you more
aware of how you can position
yourself into emerging
opportunities.

18. 8. Find an
outlet

19. Find something outside of work
which can give you time to reflect,
take your mind off work and make
you fresher to re-engage with work.
