If you’ve ever worked on a Cabinet paper, a briefing, or programme update, you’ll know the drill.
Before anything sees the light of day, you run it past the front-page test:
“How would this look if it landed on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow morning?”
It’s automatic – like muscle memory.
I was speaking recently with a group of public sector leaders about their career journeys.
One of them shared that in their team, the risk register was so central that it practically had its own seat at the table.
Then they added: “We even have an opportunities tab!”
They paused… and then said: “It’s empty.”
We both laughed, nodding our heads.
But then sat with the truth of that.
When you’ve spent years, maybe decades, in a system that is built on risk mitigation, what does that do to your mindset?
The question that’s been echoing for me ever since is this:
If everything you do at work starts with a risk register… does your career change process start with one too?
In this episode I share 3 ways you can test how your risk mindset affects your career shift.
