Seven Responsibilities of being Self unLimited
responsibility [rɪˌspɒnsɪˈbɪlɪti]
n. the opportunity or ability to act independently and take decisions without authorisation
The essence of being Self unLimited is to accept You are responsible for a range of choices and actions for which You have control. It is not a light thing to take on responsibility. It comes with freedom, risk, and consequences. Being responsible is the power you have for your workscape.
There are seven Responsibilities to adopt and cultivate in Being Self unLimited. Here is an overview.
Reign
strategy, direction, values – the big picture stuff that guides my choices and provides oversight for my workscape
Rules
the responsibility to express my values and intentions through action
policies, processes, code of practice, terms & conditions – my ‘operating system’ for doing and managing my style of work
Reputation
the responsibility to shape the stories for which I am known
branding, marketing, public relations – what I am about; and getting the word out
Relationships
the responsibility to connect with others meaningfully and help each other
networks, collaborations, alliances – who I know; and how I utilise the power and social capital in relationships
Resources
the responsibility to get and look after the things that enable me to do my best work
tools, facilities, infrastructure (soft & hard) – the things I need to have and to use
Renewal
the responsibility to adapt myself and shape my workscape
performance, improvements, quality – the What and How of my learning and development
Revenue
the responsibility to define and create the value I seek from work
delivery, accounting, administration – what is the currency-of-choice for what I do and how I get that
