Planning a career

Planing and taking ownership for ones career

Chapter 7
Feedback gap p.4
 

I will be asking many questions. How do I take ownership of my own career? I'd like to plan my career journey in such a way that I make the best choices for my development. I want to proactively choose resources that will assist me on my journey.
I suggest you take the initiative and use the Ten Key Questions and Guidelines from the Walk and Talk Guide to help you plan and manage key elements of your career. I will attempt to give direct answers.

Ten Key Questions and Guidelines

 

  1. What are your key job roles for customer value contribution?

  2. Can you write down your Key Results Areas (KRA's) and tasks?

  3. What were your activities and involvements for the previous period?

  4. Obtain input from your mentors and colleagues and compile an inventory of your abilities and job, life and transferable skills.

  5. How does the way you behave match up with the behaviourial expectations of your team members and your job?

  6. What is your ten year vision and have you set SMART goals to get there?

  7. What career options apply to you presently:

    • Growing in your present job?

    • Moving horizontally or moving vertically?

    • Seeking outside opportunities?

  8. Who do you mentor, who are your mentors and what contribution do you need from them?

  9. What have you done about succession planning recently?

  10. What value have you added to your company's sustainable wealth creation ability?
Without feedback from colleagues and mentors you cannot track your progress on your Journey. Remember that you are also part of another support team and your input will be required to enable others to assess their progress. I will provide explanatory information.
Did you know that the Performance Management Process is a powerful tool in helping you to reach your career goals?
You will undoubtedly benefit from studying those pages.		 I will give some advice and insights.
