Great post, and I agree. Many managers just want to get the job done and go home.
Taking the extra time to carry out your suggestions is rare. It involves asking questions like, "What are the high stakes projects?" or "What skills do I need to make a difference."
People who want to grow a successful career have to manage their career (and their development) themselves.
Glad this resonated with you, Wendy! Most managers think their boss is responsible for their growth. Big mistake. The moment you take personal responsibility for your growth, it becomes a reality. No one is coming to save you. You got to pull yourself up.
Fantastic story. This perfectly describes the mindset of a lot of people at my workplace.
Wow, this is a similar story at most workplaces.
True! It's few those that begin to think if themselves as a business or a brand and start building.
