◠Harsh Realities - we don’t necessarily like them, but we know they are true
â— Know Yourself - things to think about
â— Tips and Training - simple strategies to implement immediately
A few notes about Harsh Realities.
These are very straight forward statements.
Many managers will refer to these topics in a gentler manner (for fear of the employee shutting down and not listening further, giving offence, receiving a complaint, etc.). I use the direct approach and cut through the sugar coating and get to the point.
â— These are not nice, warm, fuzzy statements, but they are true.
â— These statements will likely make you angry.
â— I am absolutely not saying the reality is perfect, only that it exists.
Understanding and planning for the situations described in these statements will help you avoid common errors and help you to present yourself in the best possible manner.
Harsh Reality: Your organization was not created to give you a job. Your job does not exist to provide you with income.
Of course you know that your organization hired you for a specific task or to meet a specific need, but what do your actions and attitude show?
Don’t be your own worst enemy. Use the tools in this book to avoid common errors that undermine your success.
If you are not ready to face this reality and move past the anger it may provoke, then you are not ready for this book.
What this book is not:
ËŸ This book is not a guide to tell you how to do your job.
ËŸ If you do not understand the basic expectations of your current position, you need to talk with your supervisor.
ËŸ This book is not a philosophical discussion of “how things should be.â€
˟ This is a guide to navigating your way through an average work environment in order to help you accomplish your goals.
