Effort | Career Angles
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
In the Wheelhouse | Career Angles
When your boss comes to you and tells you that you need to push harder, expend more effort, and put in more time, many people succumb to the suggestion with the expectation that there is a reward that you will receive if people see you as “dedicated,” “hardworking” and/or “committed.” In fact, they are like leprechauns promising a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow—seductive liars placing a carrot just out of reach to ry to get you, the jackass, to chase it. Your manager may change jobs or be fired and never be in the position to advocate for that raise or promotion they have promised you. It remains just out of reach. These lies people are told are indicative of a management style that motivates, rather than inspires. © The Big Game Hunter, Inc. Asheville, NC 2018, 2022
