Читать книгу Influence and Impact - George B. Bradt - Страница 24

In summary, many of our efforts to contribute to the organization paradoxically cause us to lose influence and impact. We try to do more, or do what we know best, or what feels safe, unconsciously leading us to detract from our value and weaken our impact. The actions we take are a response to our attitudes, emotions, and underlying beliefs about ourselves, others, and our organizational context. The good news is that you have the ability to turn the tables and increase your agency and effectiveness. What you prioritize, where you and your team focus attention, and how you act, respond, and communicate can be changed to make it clear you are aligned to your manager, your function and the organization.

To be clear, there are times when the feeling of being stuck has nothing to do with you. You may be in a bad situation or there is a difference in values or style that cannot be overcome. Until you find that out, however, you have many more degrees of freedom when you focus on yourself. Start by framing the problem as something you can control, and change may be more actionable than trying to change others or looking for a new job. Our next chapter will make it clear how you can enhance your value to the organization, and help you expand your influence and impact on others.
