What Nobody Told You About Your Job Description

Here are a few things that probably nobody told you about what you should be doing at work:

  • Add positive energy to every interaction

  • Be authentic

  • Treat customers beyond expectations

  • Offer help to others before they ask

  • Leave things better than you found them

  • Recognize the work of others

  • Lead challenging projects

  • Foster curiosity

  • Have fun, but never at other people's expense

  • Reduce costs

  • Ask why

  • Change what's not working

  • Ask what it's for. Ask what's the problem that you are trying to solve

  • Find how you can use your platform to do the most good

  • Don't tolerate gossip, criticism, judgment, or cynical asides

  • Start a community. Start a tribe

  • Look for opportunities, and find solutions. Ask what you can do

  • Simplify processes (even if you don't work in operations)

  • Advocate for others

  • Help invent a new product or service that people really want

  • Get more competent at your job through learning every day

  • Have difficult conversations

  • Take ownership of your career

  • Show your work. Just working hard is not enough

  • Understand what drives different people

  • Never make assumptions

  • Figure out interesting problems

  • Smile

Now more than ever, we need people who want to lead the change. People who want to make a difference and create a positive impact. It is not about titles. It is far beyond your job description. It is never too late to reflect and define how you want to perform.
What would you add to this list?

PS. This post is inspired by Seth Godin's post Missing from your Job Description.
