\n\tHow can you stay aligned with so many more people than ever before—your boss, your direct reports, and your colleagues (sideways and diagonal) all over the organization chart?<\/p>\n

\n
• \n\t\tProvide drafts or samples of your work in progress.<\/strong> Check in with your boss, direct reports, or colleagues early on so you don’t go too far in any wrong direction.<\/li>\n
• \n\t\tAsk your boss, direct reports, or colleagues to watch you work once in a while. <\/strong>This will give them a clear view of what you are doing and how you are doing it.<\/li>\n
• \n\t\tIn your structured one-on-one conversations, provide an account of what you’ve done, how you’ve done it, and what you are planning to do next. <\/strong>Who owns which next steps and when are you going to follow up with each other?<\/li>\n
• \n\t\tUse self -monitoring tools. <\/strong>Monitor in writing via project plans, checklists, and activity logs whether you are meeting the goals and deadlines laid out in a project plan. Report to your collaboration partners regularly.<\/li>\n
• \n\t\tAsk your customers, vendors, coworkers, and everyone you work with to give you honest feedback about your performance in relation to them. <\/strong>Ask them in writing, “How am I doing?” and use that data as feedback to help you improve.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
