Career Ownership Audit

You have delivered. You have led. You have done what was asked and more. And every week, conversations happen about your future that you are not in. This audit measures how well the people in those conversations can see your value - and where the gap is quietly costing you. Six dimensions. Twelve statements. Five minutes. Rate each statement honestly on a scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree).

What is your name?

What is your best email address?

Dimension 1 - EVALUATION (Are you seen as a strategic thinker, not just a strong executor?)

My current role consistently stretches my thinking beyond execution into strategic decision-making.

Senior leaders actively seek my perspective on decisions, not just my execution.

Dimension 2 - INTERPRETATION (Do you know how leadership actually sees you - and do you like the answer?)

I know how senior leaders would describe me in one or two sentences.

That description reflects how I want to be seen at the next level.

Dimension 3 - POSITIONING (Is your name in the right rooms for the right reasons?)

I am regularly included in conversations or initiatives that operate at the next level.

I am seen as a candidate, not just a contributor, when larger roles or scopes are discussed.

Dimension 4 - ADVOCACY (Does someone with influence have something specific to say on your behalf?)

There are senior leaders who actively speak about my readiness when I am not in the room.

At least one influential leader has clearly positioned me for a larger role or scope.

Dimension 5 - WINDOWS (Are you positioned to move when the moment opens - not after it closes?)

I am intentionally visible during moments of change, such as reorgs, leadership shifts, or strategic initiatives.

I am prepared to step into a larger role if an opportunity opened in the next 3 to 6 months, without needing additional preparation time.

Dimension 6 - AUTHORSHIP (Are you writing your own narrative - or letting the system write it for you?)

I am intentionally shaping how my value is described in the rooms I do not enter.

I regularly create moments that give decision-makers direct exposure to how I think, not just what I deliver.

Which of these six dimensions is quietly working against you right now?

A

Evaluation - Senior leaders see what I deliver but not how I think

B

Interpretation - I am not fully in control of how I am described

C

Positioning - My name is not in the right rooms for the right reasons

D

Advocacy - No one has something specific to say on my behalf

E

Windows - I am not positioned to move when the right moment opens

F

Authorship - The system is writing my story more than I am
