As a career strategist, I've seen a real disconnect between managers and their employees when it comes to discussing career paths. That's because 58% of managers haven't received any management training. They don't know how to set measurable goals and are unsure how to provide valuable feedback.
For an employee, this conversation is important because it gives you a clear idea of where you stand and what you need to do to succeed. It can also give you an indicator if you need to start looking for another job or if you have what it takes to get the promotion or pay raise you want where you're at.
Have you ever wondered why people who are "worse" at their jobs get higher salaries, better promotions, and seem to have more options than you? Having a great work ethic and the right qualifications won't guarantee you a promotion. It's about positioning yourself as the best candidate and being brave enough to ask for what you want.
Maybe you feel like creating visibility for yourself feels like playing office politics? Or maybe you feel management should know what a good job you are doing? I hate to tell you, if you leave it up to someone else to recognize your value and accomplishments, it could mean you don't get seen and promoted.
Inside my FREE VISIBILITY GUIDE, I'll show you how to effectively increase your visibility in the office, how to share your accomplishments, and how to discuss the strengths you have to offer the organization. Implementing these goal setting techniques can help you land the promotion you have been dreaming about.
Use my VISIBILITY GUIDE and make the most of the one-on-one time you have with your supervisor. Get clear on their expectations and how they perceive your performance and leave with a plan that starts you moving up the ladder to success.
