There’re two sides.

The headline side, you set the agenda: you prioritise the big things and bring everyone to the same page and point everyone in the same direction. Of course, your day-to-day agenda mixes with the corporate, your personal priorities fit the organisations priorities and you emphasise thing that show everyone else where their emphasis should be. Of course.

The other side: you’re the dust buster: you blow through obstacles, make connections, you let Slot B know that Tab A is coming over, and sometimes you even get involved in driving them together.

It’s the unglamorous side of running the agenda.

The side that says … we’re all working on the same goals and if anyone is struggling to get cut-through, if anyone is failing to get attention and make the necessary connections, then I’m here to break down the barriers.

Skippy strategy: Find the blockers and make the connections.
