While individual roles and responsibilities
vary in Reclamation, we no longer have the luxury of saying
"that is not my job; it's the manager's purview..." or
"this is my territory--and no one else's." We need to
contribute our perspectives and insights to solve a wide
range of problems. |

Carefully determine what your responsibilities
are. Talk to the people who gave you the assignment to find
out who you are responsible to, what the goals are, and how
far you are to go with this.
Responsibility and authority go hand in hand. However, you
may be given responsibility without the corresponding authority.
If this happens, see if you can work with others to discharge
that responsibility. Develop working relationships with those
who are above and below you in the chain of command to fulfill
your responsibility. Coordinate with those who have similar
areas of responsibility.
Clearly identify who has the authority to make the final
decision. If not, see if you can
explain to those who have authority what you think needs to
be done and why. |
