Feeling Undervalued at Work? Make Sure Important Leaders Know You

If you’re feeling undervalued at work, start getting proactive about self-promotion. At https://joelinspirationalspeaker.com, you’ll find more details on this topic: “The Invisible Leaders: How to Find Them and Make Them Shine.” Jot down the names of five of the most important leaders around you, like the following people: • Your boss • Your boss’s boss • A senior executive • A peer of your boss. Now, imagine all of the most influential leaders that surround you taking turns coming into a conference room and spending fifteen minutes describing all the impact and value you bring to the company. As you envision this scenario, ask yourself these questions: • How well do they know you and see your work? • Which ones would accurately describe your strengths and contributions? • How many would convey an accurate perception of you? • How many of them could only speak for two or three minutes about what you’ve accomplished? You might have worked on a major project, but chances are, most of these leaders don’t know the challenges you overcame to bring it to fruition. They only saw the end results. Thus, you need to convey to them the key steps the team took to achieve that success, so they fully understand what it took to achieve that result. If you’re feeling undervalued, work to change these leaders’ perception of you. How? Find reasons to talk to them about projects you’re working on and projects you’ve recently completed. Share reports that show measurable results, and when doing so, mention challenges you overcame to achieve them. Tell a story about how your team solved a problem using their ingenuity. As you do so, you’ll build a rapport with these leaders, who will then remember more about you and the value you bring. Then, when a group of high-profile leaders meets to discuss possibilities for promotion, they’ll know who you are and what you have to offer. They’ll become advocates for you as well when they fully understand what you contribute.
