Time: < 30 Minutes

STEP 1: Send the following email to your team:

Our team plays an important role in contributing to the organization’s mission, strategy, and key initiatives. Please take a moment and think about your individual role in the organization and answer the two questions below.

  • On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = I feel my job is not important at all; 10 = I feel my job is extremely important), how important do you feel your job is to the organization’s mission, strategy, and key initiatives?
  • If you could change one thing about your job to increase its level of importance to the organization’s mission, strategy, and key initiatives, what would you like to change?

After receiving your responses, I will touch base with each of you to talk about next steps.

STEP 2: After receiving your team member’s replies, touch base with each team member to discuss the following:

  1. The team members “perceived” level of importance
  2. How the team member really contributes to the organization’s mission and purpose
  3. What actions both you and the team member can take to increase his or her perceived level of importance to the organization’s mission and purpose
