Episode 52:Â How Are You Measured?
February 3, 2025
You're working harder than ever, but you can't shake that feeling of being busy without being productive. The problem isn't your effort or your skills—it's a lack of clarity about how you're actually measured and what success looks like in your role. In this episode, I'll show you exactly how to create that clarity through strategic conversations that will transform scattered effort into focused progress.

Picture this: It's late afternoon, you've been in meetings all day, and you're finally sitting down to tackle your "real work"—except you're exhausted and not even sure what that should be. Sound familiar?
This isn't a time management problem. It's a clarity problem. In this episode, I'm sharing the key questions that will help you move from scattered busyness to focused productivity. You'll discover the three types of clarity every leader needs and the specific conversations to have with your manager to define what success actually looks like. Plus, I'll give you an AI prompt you can use to get started immediately. Stop chasing success and start defining it.
"Clarity doesn't just happen. It's not something that will magically appear one day. Clarity is something you CREATE—through intentional conversations, through asking the right questions, through doing the hard work of defining what success actually looks like."

About your Host
Claire Laughlin, MA, Organizational Development Consultant
Hi! I'm Claire Laughlin, and I love helping leaders like you create workplaces where people truly thrive.
For over two decades, I've been rolling up my sleeves alongside teams and organizations, using hands-on methods that actually work (because let's face it - theory only gets you so far!).Â
I specialize in teaching leaders how to engage their teams, helping managers become more effective facilitators, and showing people how to work better together.
I'm also a master facilitator for the Six Types of Working Genius® - a fantastic tool that helps you understand and leverage your natural talents.
When I'm not helping leaders like you build happy, high-energy workplaces, I'm enjoying a hike in the forest with my dog Fiona, spending time with my family or curled up with a great book.
