Episode Synopsis

Cindy Esliger talks about finding your role within your organization. Having your role clearly defined is important for job satisfaction and career success. When you’re first hired, Cindy advises you to ensure you get a specific job description. If you’re already in the organization, she has advice on how to clarify your existing role. Your role is your position within the organization. It’s your job title. Your responsibilities are your job description; the duties expected of someone in your role. Having your role and job description clearly outlined and up to date leads to greater success because you understand exactly what is expected of you and can work towards clear goals.  Cindy details how to communicate if your role needs clarification or your job description needs updating. Communicating well aids in role negotiation but also helps avoid conflict within teams by clarifying expectations. She shares four reasons why having a playbook of everyone’s roles and responsibilities is vital: 1. Eliminates confusion, 2. Promotes autonomy, 3. Increases engagement, and 4. Makes transitions easier. She then explains how to develop those roles and responsibilities when they aren’t up to date or clearly stated.  Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Clarifying RolesAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
