@workwithhall: High achievers don’t burn teams down. They expose what’s already broken. If someone gets labeled “difficult” for asking basic clarity, that’s not a personality problem. That’s a leadership problem. #careeradvice #careers #worklife
And the nitpicking. It’s a power play. Weak leaders have no idea what leadership really is. They assume it’s bossing people around, forcing people to do things, having ultimate control, moving the goal posts,, excessive bottlenecking, etc. They have no idea what empathy, confidence, leading by example, trust is. I am going through this the first time ever in my career at my first and only nonprofit and I will never put myself through this again. If I didnt have to pay bills. 🙄🙄🙄

If I'm more competent than leadership I won't last long! If I can't respect you I sure as hell can't work under you!!

At the last job I left, during my performance review I asked for examples on why one section had “needs further training” and my manager said “oh I just put that so that you wouldn’t have a perfect score on everything😊”

I’ve been in management and operations for 20 years and also a high performer. I’ve always gotten complimented on my delivery of clarity. I also don’t fit in spaces where they just want to skate, go up an invisible ladder while doing the least amount of work.

I've finally reached the point where if the people who should care, don't, then neither do I. You can only strive so long without support 🙃

I am a very collaborative person by nature, but I’m also a high performer. When I realized I was working with people who consider me doing their job for them “collaboration“, that’s where I had to draw a line. We don’t need to have a meeting to discuss ideas for something that is someone’s job to literally come up with those ideas and execute them.

it usually isn't worth it to be a high performer unless you work on commission...

💯 This explains why the best people quietly disengage before they quit.
When leaders avoid clarity, competence becomes a threat.
Seeing that changed how I make decisions now.

Last day is Friday 💁🏼♀️will no longer work for incompetent leaders that gained their positions based on visibility and not credibility.

Almost every job I have quit was due to management simply not caring about me, and the team/department.

quartz_air3 :
Exactly. When I exposed an issue and asked for help from management to resolve it, I was pegged as the problem for speaking up. Because “we don’t have a problem with the other leads.” So I’m the problem for pointing something out you don’t want to deal with? Interesting.

I have a marketing consulting business and I see this every day with a lot of of my clients. They hire me for my expertise, but then when my expertise exposes a lot of incompetence suddenly I’m the bad guy.

So good. I’ve learned you need to be very careful that even though you may “see” the leadership for what it is you can’t let them know you’re “SEEN” them

🙌🏼 Yup! And when one of these high performers states that maybe this job isn’t for them… It doesn’t mean that they’re not capable. They’re beyond qualified. It literally means the company isn’t for them.
