    Higher visibility means more work. I am at the point in my career where I don't care anymore who are the management. I talk to them like a normal employee or the same level as me

      I do the same and oddly enough, it’s made the higher ups gravitate towards me

    I agree with every point made here. However, it has always been so challenging to force myself to talk to these visible ppl at my Corporate workplace. These higher ups are narcissists and I don't mean to even exaggerate nor sound bitter/negative. For me, staying out of the radar is safer than trying to climb any ladder here. It's time consuming and exhausting realizing intelligence doesn't get you promoted.

    • @jay-2534

      Yeah . Don’t make mistake is safer than trying to impress.

    • @asadb1990
      @asadb1990 Год назад +12

      Yeah better to gain experience at one organization and use that to get promotion at next company. Also the higher up you get the more meetings you attend, the more you have to get work out of people and the less work you actually do.

    • @Hllee6428
      @Hllee6428 Год назад +3

      I hate to say this but where I work, visibility isnt necessary the criteria for career advancement. Most of the time it's usually because someone else resigned/got fired during a crisis and the company had little choice but promote the next available convenient candidate to replace them (along with addition of further headcount). In fact its the concientious high, stable performers (adept at crises prevention in the first place) are the least recognized ones, no matter how visible.

    Depends on how competent your managers are. Many “managers” are too incompetent/lazy/political to recognize true talents since they don’t have the knowledge or skills for the work themselves. Talented workers want to discuss actual work matters in depth (not small talks); and they don’t need to be managed by “cheerleaders”.
    Managers who know nothing should be phased out and replaced by workers who actually know the subject matters. I’m glad to see engineers become C level execs.

    Anyone focusing on these skills in my company got fired. It is always the manager's responsibility to distinguish who are actually contributing, not the other way around. It is a cancer in company culture that individuals should fight for visibility.

      Depends on your industry, as a leader I was always encouraging my team to present their work and put forward ideas and opinions. It was challenging as they lived in another country and seemed to work in a different culture within the same company, where they tended to defer to the manager.

    Thank you for this video. I learned a lot. But it not easy to be visible to the group of high level that like to smoke and drink. Every night go clubbing / party and it is not safe for female especially. Unless the person pick-up the smoking to be able to join the gang.

  • @rtanep3
    @rtanep3 Год назад +5

    Most of the points are valid but I have a different opinion on B. I think that rule only applies if the people you are surrounding yourself with are good role models. If not, you will be inheriting bad practices or behaviours.. and my experience is these role models are unfortunately far and few in between.

    I've heard similar concepts before, but the perspective was very different. The version I'm familiar with is "people are promoted when one person isn't doing the same level of work as everyone else but is still valuable to the team, so they get put in an 'advisory' role, which leads to further promotions for them because it's seen as leadership." So I guess what it really comes down to is mindset. Sure, you can be the grumpy and jaded menial worker (lord knows I spent way too much time there), but it does so much mental and career damage to think that way.

      The one who produces results and is visible will rise above the one who produces the same level of results but it's not visibility
      This is very simple.
      Look around you. This plays out everywhere.

    I don’t think of anyone as a higher-up. Management isn’t all it’s cracked up to be either. I’ve seen too many people bust their behinds only to wind up disappointed. In any case , Iuck plays a much bigger part in ‘success’ than effort and ability. ❤

    They are humble
    They motivate others to achieve success
    They are effective multi-taskers
    They show initiative
    They look for opportunities to learn more
    They prioritize the success of the organization
    They own their responsibilities (good and bad)
    They are confident in their abilities
    They are ambitious and they focus well and they ask for help when necessary
    They adapt well to changes and they work well with others
    They have a positive attitude and they understand their limits
    Finally....If you want to lead, you need to read...read as much as you can, and sprinkle your knowledge around to as many people as you can reach out to...
