Earlier episodes of this podcast have focused on leadership’s role in great work in our companies. Dana Manciagli is here to talk with your host Aaron Schmookler about what each of us can do to insure that we’ve got Mighty Good Work.Reboot yourself by changing jobs, by jumping division to division, location to location, or company to company.
Here are a few highlights from our conversation with Dana:
Make choices! Don’t let your work happen to you. Be deliberate.
Figure out what you like, and pursue only what you like.
You can’t be all things to all people. Make choices. Sometimes they’re tough. You don’t have to get it absolutely right. Make a call and take action on it.
“What are you waiting for? You have a vision. You know what you want to do next. Why aren’t you doing it?”
Don’t rely on your boss to make you happy.
Ask yourself, “What was this week like? Did I do my best? Treat my people well? Make good choices?” Take regular accounting of your own performance against your own standards of excellence. Expect greatness.
There’s a lot of boss bashing out there. Stop bashing the boss. It only hurts your career.
Business revolves around relationships.
Rule #1: Build the relationship with your boss. There’s a “we factor” and you’re role in the relationship is equally important. It takes two.
YOU have tremendous power in yourself — through your choices — to have good work wherever you are.
Put in the work that it takes to enjoy work! Don’t be stuck.Take action to get to joy at work!
