Most of us strive to advance a career. Promotion – expressed appreciation on our abilities, our performance, allowing us to expand our sphere of influence, enhances our confidence, in no small part improves the salary and compensation and improves the quality of life derived from it.
I met a number of these types of people who seek to rise through the ranks and influence, personal imprint and realize their potential. Another type is those who enjoy job security and want to return home safely. Another type is those who fight for promotion, not pounce on every opportunity, but when they are given not refuse.
I believe you or are you reading this now are the guys I mentioned.
As long as your own expectations and the opportunity to have an organization where you work are working in alignment with, the better. Are you happy where you are and the organization produces you the most possible in the existing situation.
This article is intended for those whose expectations from the organization and the opportunities given to them are not together.
Those who value themselves beyond the organization appreciates them, those who think they deserved to progress and after / in place of his predecessor.
This situation is familiar to me of my customers, apparently there are a disappointment as soon as you saw multiple perspectives to look at the new situation. “I’m stuck / e” and the other / the predecessor.
The first perspective – is to accept the new reality and say a comprehensive calculation of the cost – benefit my profit organization and stay at higher than other options. From that moment, the resulting decision is to do the best I can, enjoy what you have and love the place where I am.
Another perspective – understanding that the current situation did not before, over time I experienced a personal disappointment, I am satisfied with the way the scene, the organization, the conditions, and therefore I will wait for another chance when she came over and my interests and my organization merged with advancement. I choose to remain in the organization to be created a new situation easier for me.
Another perspective – “not welcome me, do not believe me, do not know what I’m worth, I give my soul, I am better than someone selected / e, I deserve the job, I have what it takes to succeed in the role, I have all the qualifications” I have no choice, and the current situation I have the income, it will be difficult for me to find out the role now for various reasons I choose to stay. A little frustrated, but remains.
Another perspective – I know what I’m worth. The organization and I reached a crossroads. I know and able to quantify the abilities and added value I bring them, I am aware of and appreciate the organization gave me until today. My career is important to me and so I choose to go elsewhere it will bring more benefit and will get bigger impact options and, of course, better economic conditions.
Each of the perspectives of three scenarios – best, worst and it combines both. Decisions made by certainly will consider the scenarios. Any risk perspective, chance and price.

When someone comes to me that he felt stuck in the organization and is worth more than the first task is to identify which strengths and abilities and how they serve the goals of current or future organization.
For example when I could present a major human relations are good, it sounds great and very positive. Human relations are very important. Provided they contribute to profitability, for the purposes and goals of the organization, they harness their employees and subordinates are highly motivated teamwork.
This process through all of the strong and powerful and to identify what benefits that the organization and what it’s worth it, providing role, status, salary conditions. Greatly improve your dialogue with yourself what you are worth and to whom? The feeling of frustration sometimes replaced by awareness and understanding which parts of the map holdings were worth preserving, which should improve and what parts should be released and to change others.
Sometimes, you revealed that marketing yourself right not to express success and internalization capabilities and your holdings. Never mind, it can do the next time or the next organization.
Real opportunities are endless, are renewed constantly.
Awareness and internalization what I’m worth and to whom, is the basis for negotiations between you and yourself, between you and your managers and interviewers organization between you and the next and / or job search.
You work in the world is a brand of yourself. How you are perceived, what they think, what opportunities offer you – depends a lot on you.
Sometimes it is convenient to perform the process where you familiar and comfortable to you and may want to replace the atmosphere and space.
There is no one right answer for everyone. The only thing that I believe has value and importance is to make the process yourself.
