I’m not sure if our company has formalized its core values, mission, or vision. I’m also not sure our team has formal goals for this year or quarter. I don’t have any specific priorities for this week other than to survive. I don’t feel my work really matters.

I’m managed more than necessary. I don’t feel like management thinks I’m smart enough to figure things out on my own. I’m told what to do and often how to do it. I can do some things without getting approval, but anything out of the ordinary requires prior approval.
I feeI have the freedom to do my job without much oversight. I feel like management trusts me to do my job. I’m held accountable for results; as long as I’m getting them, I’m pretty much left alone. I only have to get approval on things that fall outside my budget or an agreed-upon deadline.

Meetings:
*
I dread meetings. I cannot get any real work done because of all the meetings I am forced to attend. They are poorly run: there’s no written agenda, they don’t start or end on time, and no one tracks action items. We frequently waste time in meetings because leaders seem to be trying to outsource their thinking or put off decisions they could make themselves.

Some meetings are run well and some aren’t. We occasionally waste time in meetings, because the leader doesn’t seem sure about what outcome he/she wants.
Generally, I look forward to meetings. Despite the number, I have several each week, I usually have time to get my other work done.
