Across your career, you will find yourself with bosses who are enablers and your greatest supporters, and others who represent your biggest obstacles. Even in the worst of circumstances, there is always something you can do to set yourself up for success.
If your boss doesn’t believe in you, do not obsess about it or devise an unrealistic plan to rush from zero to hero. Do not try to figure out what’s wrong with you; nothing is wrong with you.
Instead, when your boss doesn’t believe in you, elevate your curiosity! Ask questions and be sure that you…
- understand their expectations
- understand their priorities
- understand what they value
Once you are clear on the above points, it is your turn to take action.
- Demonstrate your competence
- Earn a reputation as someone who will ask for clarification
- Deliver results
You’ve got this.
With love,
Mari Carmen
