Rewrite One Task Statement As Leadership Ownership

Executive readiness shows in how you describe your work. Task language reports activity; ownership language shows the decision you made, the trade-off you accepted and the outcome you stood behind.

• Task language: 'Managed the migration project.'

• Ownership language: 'Chose a phased migration over a single cutover to protect month-end reporting, and accepted a longer timeline to do it.'

Write one sentence describing something you did recently, exactly as you would normally say it.

Rewrite it to name the decision, the alternative you rejected, and the outcome you were accountable for.
