In this four-part series, we’re breaking down four sneaky behaviors you’re doing to gain visibility in your organization…
And exposing what top leadership really sees.
We’re affectionately calling this four-part series the “Excuse me, miss, I’m sorry but you have toilet paper on your shoe” series.
Receiving the wisdom we’re about to share over the next few days can feel like walking into an event, thinking you look stunning, and feeling everyone looking at you.
But it was because you had toilet paper dragging on your heel for the last 20 minutes.
In each part of this series, we’re breaking down one of the four critical productivity mistakes you are making that are:
- Getting you noticed for the wrong reasons
- Killing your productivity
- Losing the respect of top leadership
- Costing you the promotion or seat at the table
In today’s spot: Working on the weekends JUST for the sake of it.
What you think:
I’m going to show that I have more commitment than most.
What other executives see (Including me when I see it):
Someone who doesn’t have their priorities straight. This is a super red flag. It puts questions and doubts in my head about your effectiveness.
What to do instead:
If you’re going to work on the weekend, there better be a particular, probably urgent, top-priority project that requires your attention. If that is not the case, rest, and please bring your A-game on Monday.
See you tomorrow.
With love,
Mari Carmen
