Discussion Questions
1. Think of an everyday task you perform. How could
you shift from coordinating–to leading–it?
2. How can you brand yourself as more of a strategist?
How could you make that expertise known?
3. Name a situation where you’d like to go from problem-
solver to agenda-setter.
• What action will you take to set the
agenda/direction rather than follow it?
• Who could you engage, observe or interview that
acts as an agenda-setter today?
