A Bigger Shovel:
Six Ways Being Too Good at Your Job Can Hurt Your Career
There's an old saying that goes, "No good deed ever goes unpunished." Sadly, that's often true in business, especially in terms of personal productivity. Like so many other things, high productivity can backfire in surprising ways. I have a colleague who came roaring into a new job, working 60 hour weeks for the first six months, doing his best to impress his superiors. It worked too well. He was their golden boy while overclocking it; but once he'd settled into his job, he cut back to
45-50 hours weekly. Afterward, they treated him like he was slacking, despite consistently exceeding the number of hours his colleagues spent in the office!
Leading Growth and Transformation: How Leaders Accelerate Their Organizations' Progress to the Future
When leaders are true to their purpose, they gravitate towards doing work that matters and solving higher-order problems. The journey to get there requires that they have the courage to tell themselves the truth, take intelligent risks, and assume ownership for driving the alignment necessary to build an organization which behaves in
ways worthy of its leadership position. As the pace of commoditization accelerates and the emergence of technological disruption threatens our existing business models, we must transform our teams at a faster rate than the external environment is changing. This engaging, case-study rich session will unlock the keys to accelerating growth in your team and your organization. Peter will encourage you to have vision and create a setting for your team to thrive because organizations don’t transform –
leaders do.
