What are your job's lighthouse questions?
👋Hi! I'm Molly. This is where I share the lessons I’ve learned from building fast-moving, messy, ambitious companies. For more from me, you can also find me on the WorkLife Podcast, on LinkedIn, and in Glue Club, a community for leaders who care about building great companies.
One of the earliest lessons I learned about surviving or thriving inside a rapidly scaling organization is that job descriptions expire immediately. As soon as you're onboarded, all those lovely bullets are already out of date because things are changing so fast.
At Facebook, I learned to give myself questions as a guide for how to think about my job. Questions simply last longer than declarative statements. Scaling is like living inside a storm at all times; you want to find anchors — lighthouses — that help keep you pointed in the right direction regardless of what’s going on around you.
Story time!
