1. You arrive at a meeting and hear several other people in the room say they have the same title and/or role as you.
2. You land a new job with a clear purpose, but there is no single boss, no hierarchy, no subordinates (as such) and no specific office.
3. You are constantly giving and receiving feedback.
4. You rely on partners outside your organisation to inform or provide services to your customers.
5. The tempo of work and the rate you are working has increased – nothing is simple anymore.
6. You and colleagues no longer focus on single policy areas but on the relationships and interconnections between them.
7. The majority of the people you work with and the resources needed to support them lie outside of your immediate control.
