10 things leadership is judging you on but will never tell you 👎

The 10 things leaders judge you on but won’t say out-loud… 1. How you handle stress - Do you stay steady when things get messy, or does everyone know you’re overwhelmed? 2. What you say no to - Taking everything on doesn’t always look impressive. Sometimes it looks like you don’t know how to prioritize. 3. How much hand-holding you need - Can someone give you the outcome and trust you to figure out the path? 4. How you act when you disagree with a decision - Leadership notices whether you can challenge something professionally and then move forward once the decision is made. 5. How you talk about other people - Complaining, gossiping, blaming, and constantly pointing out everyone else’s failures tells leadership something about you too. 6. How you use your boss’s time - the more you need them the more junior you look 7. Whether you create clarity or chaos - Some people walk into messy situations and make them clearer. Others somehow make everything feel harder. 8. Whether you know when “good enough” is actually good enough - Perfectionism can look like poor judgment when you’re spending 10 hours perfecting something that deserved two. 9. Whether you can influence people who don’t report to you - This becomes increasingly important the more senior you get (and more annoying) 10. Whether you make your boss feel confident putting you in the room without them - Can I send her into that meeting and trust how she’ll represent me/the team? #corporatelife #highachiever #careeradvice #corporategirlies #corporate
