I was re-reading Mark McCormark’s book, Staying Street Smart in the Internet Age, and I came across this great list of hypothetical questions to evaluate your career:
- If you could have anybody’s job at your company, which one would you take?
- If you could work for anyone in your organization, who would it be?
- If you could eliminate the most time-consuming part of your job, would you miss it?
- If you could erase your biggest flaw, would anyone notice?
- If you lost your biggest personal asset in business, would anyone care?
- If the company published a depth chart for your department, what line would you be?
- If you could assemble a board of directors that existed only to guide and advise you, who would be on it?
- If you were a publicly traded company, what price would you be quoting for your stock?
- If you were offered your job today, would you still take it?
