When to use it
Use it when joining a new team, starting with a new manager or working with many new stakeholders.
How to apply it
- Ask three colleagues what they appreciate about working with you and note their words.
- Write a short list of what matters to you at work.
- Add specific guidance on how to work well with you, such as preferred channels and meeting times.
- Add one line on the strengths and expertise people should come to you for.
- Keep it to one page, add a photo, and share it with your team.
- Review it every six months or after a role change.
Tip: Use your colleagues' own words for the appreciation section; it is more credible than self-description.
