Ep244: Please help your boss, help you.
In this episode, Mei Phing shares why many hardworking people are not the ones getting promoted due to lack of visibility. Understand how your manager thinks - that work is only complete when your boss is aware of your progress. Communicate effectively to ensure visibility and recognition.
Key Highlights
๐ Communication is Key: Employees often believe completing tasks is enough, but without informing their boss, their work remains unseen. Regular updates foster trust.
๐ Visibility Matters: Being proactive in sharing your progress can prevent your boss from feeling anxious about your workload, leading to a healthier work dynamic.
๐ Performance Reviews: Many hard-working employees go unrecognized due to a lack of visibility. Regular communication ensures you are top of mind during evaluations.
๐ Avoid Micromanagement: When bosses are unaware of your progress, they may micromanage out of concern. Keeping them informed can foster autonomy.
๐ Career Advancement: Those who effectively communicate their contributions are more likely to receive promotions and salary increases.
๐ Year-Round Strategy: Don’t wait for the end of the year to highlight your achievements. Frequent updates are essential for ongoing recognition.
๐ช 3-Step Framework: The key to success is clarity in your role, confidence in your work, and visibility in your contributions.
