It's my "job" to make the phone ring.
Many years ago I stopped concentrating on the various tasks and responsibilities of my position when attempting to communicate what my role was. I figured out that it all boiled down to focusing like a laser on those activities that make the phone ring. If I'm spending time on things that don't make the phone ring, then I'm wasting my time. Once I had this epiphany, I began to wake up in the morning with a purpose - to do or invent those things that will make the phone ring.
What is your "job"?
If you can't state it clearly and succinctly, you don't know, which means you are probably wasting time and not adding real value - value that is prized and compensated.
