I was chatting with a friend recently. She was struggling with her job, and her efforts to talk to her manager were falling flat. The conversations were going like this: Friend: I’m really worried about X. Manager: I understand that X is challenging, but X is hard everywhere. Some people seem to be able to ignore X and do a good job. Some people are able to find creative opportunities to address X.
great post; for me there’s context of what the external factors are. Is this person new into a role, is the manager, is the delivery they’re working at that time something new, considered BAU? This fits well in the context of situational leadership
Amazing post, John. For the first time I actually heard someone describing in detail what I felt. Like the comment below, I ask for a part 2 :) Once you've acknowledged the problem, how to fix it?
Excellent post John. I recently experienced this exact thing. I left disheartened and confused. Perhaps I was more disappointed in the poor leadership show by my manager.
Dealing with this exact situation at work with my manager.
I have a performance review coming up where I need to figure out how to ask “what even are my goals” effectively, because I feel lost. Hard to figure out if this means I’m not a good fit for this role, or if other need a shift around me for the fit to work. It translates to know knowing what’s a problem and what’s a perception, and leads to paralysis at the idea of having to fix so much at one time.
Great post!
But once we’ve identified the issue, how can we move forward. Is there a part 2?
Feeling inadequate at your job, is a deep sentiment to unpack. Any tips?
Did I miss or skip over something?
