You know and love the Bucket of Responses: the mission-related things you’ll say when staff guys throw useless pleasantries your way.
Having trouble filling up your bucket unprompted? Be ready to answer these questions:
- What’s your top priority today? (“Protecting America.“)
- What are we trying to message?
- What are you reading?
- Do you know what the boss is doing?
- What have you learned?
- What’s in the news?
- What’s your next job? (“I don’t know. I’m super focused on today, here’s what we’re working on and why it matters.”)
- What’s up?
- How are you? (“Fired up.”)
