We can job craft more than you may think.
Whether you are an employee, employer, or entrepreneur, there exists this opportunity to craft your ideal role.
Two components need to met:
- Are you executing the job description?
- Are you providing value?
Once you’ve met #1, you can move on to #2. And that is where you can start to introduce parts of your ideal role.
You’re in operations but aspire to be involved in marketing. You keep offering, but it never materializes. Instead of waiting to be pulled in, create a marketing plan, remove the resistance others may have, and show you can provide value
.
You are endlessly pulled into other meetings and are unable to ever get into your flow state unless it’s in the middle of the night with no interruptions. Consider blocking your time for a few hours a day where people cannot over-schedule you and place your devices on DND.
People will generally follow the rules you’ve set or the ideas you have, as long as those rules are communicated properly, flexible to change, and realistic. Most importantly you’re delivering value.
If you’re seeking to shake up your day-to-day and craft your job to what you’d like to be doing, you can start now.
