These are some excellent insights. I was definitely a victim of #1 in my last job. There wasn't much room for me to grow in the position, and I often felt that I would be better suited somewhere where my leadership and organization would make a difference. I found a great new career in truck fleet management last year, and many of these rat-race games are over for me. It takes a long time to find something satisfying that you are also great at, but you can't give up! Thanks for sharing.

It doesn’t matter as much whether you go to
college or not, it matters whether you’re inspired and motivated enough
to solve the problems that arise each day in your chosen way of life.

I struggled with accepting this for years, until I finally let go and
embraced the unknown before me instead of trying to figure it all out at
once.

By dropping out of college in 2007 for the second time, and
by taking the risk to let go of everything society was telling me to
do, I gained the ability of listening to and trusting my heart.

Good points! I think your overall message is to take an active role in maneuvering your career rather than a passive one. I agree wholeheartedly.

Good points. Bosses aren't necessarily evil - don't think of them that way. However, they have many other responsibilities and can easily lose individual employees' interests in their list of responsibilities. I agree that you must pursue your boss. Make sure he or she knows what you are doing on a regular basis. I do my best to do this at Track What Matters, but I know I certain employees get my attention more than others. Good luck!

Job description doesn’t have to do to your daily activities. It’s often just a guide. Saying NO, even in a polite way, may cause your manager to doubt your intentions. So you have to be extra careful when doing so.

Boa noite,

Muito clara essa sua explanação sobre o comportamento dentro de uma empresa, pois acredito que num mundo cada vez mais competitivo devemos ser sim um pouco egoísta, teimosos e claro querer aprender mais.
Colocar suas idéias numa forma que todos deem valor, torna-se participativo e mostrar atualizado são virtudes que logo será notado pelos chefes da empresa

Abraços,

Even if you love your job, you’ll likely find yourself stuck in a rut at
some point in your career. You may have gotten so good at what you do
that it has become automatic (and perhaps a bit boring), or maybe you’d
like to ask for a raise but don’t know how to broach the subject.
Whatever your goal, we spoke to career experts to learn what techniques
will help you gain momentum at work.

This article is quite brave in it’s times. I do agree with it’s content. We often do think that ‘no need to worry, someone else care for us’ but at the business area often we are on our own. To achieve a personal success we need to continously raise our qualifications and care about our own problems. The quicker they are solved, the better. Me too I was in a phase of thinking that ‘everything will be alright, something will solve itself out’. How wrong I was and how much time I’ve lost. To achieve anything – make 10 steps first.

This is so true and not something people often think about. I think one more thing to point out in the “Who do you work for section” is that if who you work for has no influence in the company you need to work to get your name out their to those that do.

Being selfish can work to some extent however it depends on the situation. We run a lot of team building events (http://www.demonwheelers.co.uk/team-building/index.htm) which stress the benefits of being flexible and working as a team to meet the companies objectives. Every team needs different types of people if everyone is selfish and the company fails then where does that leave everyone promotion prospects? No one likes to see failure on someone’s CV

I was attracted to this blog because of the concept of using “selfishness” in a positive way. Much like my recent blog, Selfishly Happy (http://livewellcps.com/blog/item/selfishly-happy) I agree that we must look out for ourselves and not trust the machine that is our job to have our best interest at heart. Not because the machine is malicious or out to get you, but because it is not the job of the organization to ensure individual success of it’s members. Great article!
