While
Building
Rela'onships
• Assess
where
I
have
tendency
to
building
rela'onships
more:
up,
down
or
sideways
(with
peers).
Consider
efforts
to
strengthen
your
weakest
rela'onship
links.
Am
I
expanding
my
sponsorship
network
or
over-­‐relying
on
one
supporter?

sensi've
to
how
I
am
coming
across
to
others.

I
balance
my

to
achieve
with
being
an
authen'c,
collabora've
teammate?

Timing

Capture
the

I
clear

'ming

feeling
stuck,
what
can
I
do
to
create
more
developmental
value
for
me?

there
a
sponsor
or
trusted
advisor
I
can
reach
out
for
help
to
get
unstuck?
Tempta'on:
Yes
to
Everything
Prac'ce:
Strengthen
Resiliency
Habits
and
Cul'vate
Execu've
Savvy
• How
can
I
make
the
most
of
the
enrichment
ac'vi'es
I
am
given
to
acquire
the
accelerators
(perspec've,
strategy,
influence,
self-­‐insight,
sponsorship)?
• How
can
I
add
to
my
resiliency
habits
(physical,
social,
mental,
spiritual)
to
address
stretch
and
stress?
• If
I
am
in
‘overload’,
is

IT

Coach-­‐ability
with
a
Growth
Mindset

can
I
increase
the
amount
of
feedback
and
respond

a
way
that
shows
‘coach-­‐ability’
with
a
growth
mindset?
• Am
I
ignoring
any
feedback
I’ve
been
given
lately?
How
should
I
re-­‐think
this
input
to
help
my
development
vs.
being
defensive
or
dismissive?
Tempta'on:
Jump
without
Looking
Ahead
Prac'ce:
Objec'vely
Manage
Jumping
Your
Opportunity
Curve
• Have
I
established
a
‘trusted
advisor’
rela'onship
to
help
objec'vely
review
job
opportuni'es?
• When
considering
a
jump,
deeply
explore:
Am
I
challenged?
Am
I
mo'vated?
Am
I
feeling
rewarded
and
supported?
Am
I
feeling
connected
with
the
organiza'on
