Getting To Know You
Hi!
Thank you for your interest in being an intern at RWL, I really want to get to know you more before we chat, and give you a bit more time to understand the attitudes I imagine will make this role easier for everyone.
So on this page, you’ll read through the RWL Behaviours, submit answers to a few questions, and then schedule an interview time.
Rebel Women Lit’s Exec Asst Behaviours
BEING ACCOUNTABLE
I show accountability and commitment to Rebel Women Lit’s goals and I demonstrate resilience and determination. I hold myself and others responsible for delivering goals in line with the shared purpose of RWL. I give and accept constructive feedback to maximise high performance and manage under-performance.
Questions to ask yourself:
Do I always meet my commitments and take personal responsibility for the results?
Do I give praise and recognition when appropriate?
Do I know my own strengths and weaknesses?
Do I hold others accountable for delivering what they have agreed to do?
Do I systematically identify and robustly tackle under-performance?
Do I have difficult discussions about my own and others’ behaviour in order to create greater responsibility and commitment?
Do I remain positive even when I face significant difficulties or challenges?
Do I provide a role model of accountability, determination and commitment?
What It’s Not:
Being committed but not delivering
Avoiding difficult situations or conversations
Letting myself or others get away with under-performance
Focusing on ‘why we can’t’, rather than ‘how we can’
Giving up
MAKING IT HAPPEN
I deliver excellent results, achieve challenging goals and develop myself and others. I do this by setting clear and demanding objectives to deliver what is required. I stay focused on measurable outcomes while building longer-term capability. I demonstrate standards of excellence and deliver value for money. I measure progress and adapt plans when necessary.
Questions to ask yourself:
Do I take action promptly when necessary?
Do I consistently meet my objectives?
Do I regularly review results and look for ways of raising levels of achievement for myself and others?
Do I exceed challenging objectives?
Do I set myself and others clear goals and high standards? Do I willingly take on challenges?
What It’s Not:
Failing to implement agreed actions
Not pursuing personal development activity
Being easily distracted and therefore not completing
Focusing on gathering information at the expense of taking action
Putting things off
Focusing on action but not monitoring progress or results
Not being concerned by failure
Breaking regulations or even laws when implementing action
