MOre Of These 10 COmmOn PrOblems Might Be The ReasOn Why:
1• YOU DON'T LOOK THE PART: It Might Seem Superficial And Unfair, But
Appearances Really Do COunt. YOu Might Get Away With Pushing YOur
Office's Dress COde To The Limit, But It's PrObably Impacting The Way
PeOple Perceive YOu And What OppOrtunities YOu're Offered.
2• YOU'RE TERRIBLE AT TIME MANAGEMENT: Managers Need To Keep Track NOt
Only Of Their WOrk, But Also Keep Track Of Other PeOple's Too. If YOu
Can't Stay On TOp Of YOur Own PrOjects, YOur EmplOyer Isn't Likely To
Have Faith That YOu'll Be Able To MOnitor The WOrk Of An Entire Team.
3• YOU AREN'T VERY GOOD AT TOUGH CONVERSATIONS: A Manager Needs To
Have TOugh COnversatiOns, Make DecisiOns That May Be UnpOpular, And
EnfOrce Standards And COnsequences. If YOu Shy Away FrOm Difficult
COnversatiOns-Or The OppOsite, If YOu're Too Aggressive And
COnfrOntatiOnal In Them- YOu Likely WOn't Be Seen As Manager Material.
4• YOU GOSSIP OR ARE PART OF A CLIQUE: Managers Need To Be Unbiased
And Objective- And NOt Only That, They Need To Appear Unbiased Too. If
YOu've Already CrOssed PrOfessiOnal BOundaries Within The Office, It
Will Be Difficult To Rebuild ThOse Lines As A Manager.
5• YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRIORITIZE• Managers Need To Look At A
Landscape Of DOzens Of POssible PrOjects And Identify The MOst
ImpOrtant Ones To Spend Time And ResOurces On- And Then Stay FOcused
On ThOse GOals WithOut Letting DistractiOns Intervene. If YOu Already
Have TrOuble Figuring Out The Best Place To Spend YOur Time, The
PrOblems WOuld Only COmpOund.
6• YOU ACT ENTITLED•
Entitlement FrOm SOmeOne At A JuniOr Level Is Hard EnOugh To Deal
With; Entitlement In A Manager Is Even WOrse. No EmplOyer Wants To
Deal With A Manager WhO Thinks His Department Deserves A Higher Budget
Or MOre Staff AllocatiOns Than EveryOne Else, Or WhO Tries To Exempt
Himself FrOm The POlicies And PrOcedures That EveryOne Else Has To
FOllOw.
7• YOU DON'T MANAGE YOUR OWN BOSS WELL• The Ability To Manage Upward
Gets MOre And MOre ImpOrtant As YOu MOve Up The Ladder. If YOu're NOt
Skilled At Managing YOur RelatiOnship With YOur Manager NOw-Including
COmmunicating Well, Getting Aligned On ExpectatiOns, And Getting Him
What He Needs In The Manner He Prefers It-It's Likely To HOld YOu Back
FrOm Higher Level ROles.
8• YOU'RE A COMPLAINER•
Managers Need To Have The Maturity And Perspective To Understand HOw
POlicies That Might Be AnnOying Still Serve The Larger Good Of The
COmpany. They Also Need The Judgment To Raise COncerns PrOfessiOnally
And ThrOugh The COrrect Channels, Rather Than Sharing Them With AnyOne
WhO Will Listen.
9• YOU DO YOUR JOB DUTIES AND NOTHING ELSE• Average WOrk Might Satisfy
The Requirements Of YOur Current JOb, But It's NOt EnOugh To Get YOu
PrOmOted. PrOmotiOns Go To PeOple WhO Go AbOve And BeyOnd The Minimum
And Seek Out Ways To ImprOve COnstantly.
10• YOU DON'T MAKE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS VISIBLE• YOu Might Be DOing A
Fantastic JOb, But If NO One KnOws That, YOu WOn't Be Rewarded FOr It.
So DOn't Be Shy AbOut Sharing AccOmplishments With YOur Manager,
Whether It's Rave Reviews FrOm A Client Or A Tricky PrOblem That YOu
SOlved BefOre It Caused Damage•
