Dealing With Favoritism At Work

Ask yourself: How do I help my manager achieve team goals? Am I hitting my goals / KPIs? What am I doing to make my managers job easier? Am I doing anything to cause tension / friction at work? Action items: Ask your manager how you can help Discuss your wins in 1:1's or team meetings (when appropriate) Ask for feedback from your leader and team (if it makes sense, usually does) Look for areas where you make something easy for your leader or team Ensure the goals, individually and team are clear and have deadlines Is the entire team being held accountable for the same things? Volunteer to lead projects, meetings, assignments Keep it about you and how you can improve and do better vs them Stay positive and keep out of team gossip Be honest Stay motivated and working hard Try to assume good intent vs malicious intent Have an honest, transparent conversation with your leader in a 1:1 If you are being favorited, try to share the love aka praise, projects, attending conferences, classes, etc. To support the show: Online Store (you can get 15% off using code CAREERTALKPOD15): careertalkswag.com Paypal: paypal.me/stephdennis13 Anchor: https://anchor.fm/careertalk For show notes go to: http://stephdennis13.com/category/careertalk/ To work together: listentocareertalk.com For the Google Survey: https://goo.gl/forms/PToleX38QgQ4EPaz1 To connect: Instagram: @stephdennis13 @careertalkpodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/stephdennis13 We are written, produced, hosted and edited by Stephanie Dennis You’re awesome!!
