Got totally blindsided in a Denver team meeting last month

My manager called out my project update as 'lacking strategic vision' in front of 12 people, which was a shock because I'd only focused on the raw data. It made me realize I wasn't framing my work to show its business impact, just the tasks I completed. How do you guys make sure your updates connect your daily work to bigger goals?

My buddy got chewed out for the same thing. Now he starts every update by saying which company goal his work moves forward.

Yeah I started doing that too. Just name the goal right at the top, saves a ton of time. Boss loves it now.
