How to Frame the Conversation

Do say: "I've been auditing where my time creates the most value, and I've found I can deliver significantly higher strategic output by automating my routine work. Here's my proposal."

Copy-Paste AI Prompt

Help me draft a one-page Role Evolution Proposal for my manager.

My role: [JOB TITLE]
Department: [DEPARTMENT]

Current State:
- My EJR: [X]% execution / [X]% judgment
- Top 3 execution tasks consuming my time:
  1. [TASK]
  2. [TASK]
  3. [TASK]
- My top moats: [LIST FROM WEEK 2]

Proposed State:
- Target EJR: [X]% execution / [X]% judgment
- Tasks to automate: [FROM WEEK 3]
- Tasks to delegate: [FROM WEEK 3]
- Judgment activities to expand: [FROM WEEK 3]

Create a structured one-page proposal with:
1. Current State (brief, data-backed)
2. Proposed State (clear, specific)
3. Expected Outcomes (measurable)
4. 90-Day Timeline (weekly milestones)

Tone: professional, confident, forward-looking. Not defensive.
Frame: "I can deliver significantly more strategic value by..."

Common Mistakes

Using it before completing the 4-week audit (no data = no credibility)
Framing it as "I'm worried about AI" instead of "I can deliver more value"
Being vague about what you'll automate or delegate
Not including measurable expected outcomes
Proposing changes you can't implement within 90 days

Best Practices

Complete all 4 weeks of the Protocol first — the data is your evidence
Frame everything positively — you're offering MORE value, not defending your job
Be specific about tools/methods for automation
Include one decision you will personally OWN that doesn't exist today
Practice the conversation before the meeting
