One of the best, most consistent ways a person can improve at work (or sports, marriage, etc.) is to let go of the ego. Ego can be many things, but it this case I’m referring to it as the justification tool a person uses to explain his circumstances. “I wouldn’t have been fired if the boss wasn’t a dirt bag” or “he got the promotion because he’s connected with the company” mask certain other possible truths like “I slacked off and I need to get it together and work harder” and “I’m going to talk to that guy about some of the key things he did to get promoted.”
If you can’t be brutally honest with yourself and ask yourself how you can improve your own game, then you’ll never recognize the truth about you, even when someone shares it, and you’re going to be left at the bottom of the pile each and every time; it’s simply a matter of time. A core element in true self-honesty lies in taking pride in yourself and assessing just what you need to do to improve yourself and taking steps to fix it because you deserve that. You do deserve that, don’t you?
To your success,
Rita
