'There is nothing either good or bad
but thinking makes it so'.
Successful people think differently. person is
differently.
In one of my mentoring sessions, an young executive
was upset that he has not been promoted and that his boss is unfair to him. He
was harping on one point: 'have been
working for more than ten years and work very hard ...I have not taken holidays
for years together...in spite of all these I am not been promoted...'.
I told him that his reasoning is defective. I
recalled one of the very old training films by Peter Drucker 'What Do I
Contribute' in which he says that promotion is not a reward for working hard
which you are already supposed to do. Promotion goes to a person who has expanded
the scope of the job and make the job to contribute much more than when he took
the job!
For example, when you join as an Assistant Manager
and you start enriching your job and perform at a much higher level, the job contributes
more to the objectives of the organisation and the job holder is promoted to
the level of a manager.
Check if you have done this. Instead of feeling
that your boss is not fair to you, ask yourself if you have been fair to the
organisation!
