When hard work is not working, you need a second skill set. You were hired based on your skills, experience, resume, and interview. Now What?
Only 22% of organizations promote on hard work and good citizenship. Everyone else requires self-promotion and understanding the game.
If organizations move you to a better position, they have to replace you and hope they get as good a person. If they hire for the open position, they get what they want and keep you in a position that is working for them.
Yes, you have to rise above the resistance.
You have to demonstrate you have the abilities for more responsibility and find your support network that believes in you.
You may have to change who you are and how you show up. You have to engage in relationship building and networking.
You have to understand Power and Politics. You have to become a player. It is not difficult or distasteful nor immoral. It is simply stepping onto the conveyer belt that is already running parallel to your everyday work and other people are on it.
You can learn the skillset and it will become fun. You can earn what you deserve. Or you can spend a lot of time hoping and moving sideways.
Are you ready?
If you want to discuss what you are doing and how it is or is not working schedule a half hour free session. https://tinyurl.com/mhjyu2t3
