How Not to get a Promotion ……

Any good boss, worth his/her salt will not expect you to spend too much time with them. Good bosses, empower their teams to make their decisions – allow them space to make errors, and allow them to grow. They expect the (empowered) person to think, do, and deliver. Not to spend time with them. If your boss is needy for company, find a new boss 🙂 Because, only insecure bosses expect face time from their reportees….. You need to remember this about a workspace – it is a professional set up, not a darbar.

I feel for the agency person (or inhouse person) who came up with this — they have had the wrong bosses. they aren’t going to grow, or go anywhere. What is expected is delivery. Not keeping the boss company 🙂

And, i am not even going to outrage on the sheer sexism of this. The stupidity is far more stunning.

(Ps… someone reached out to me — CEO apparently is career enhancement officer … which brings me to another point, if you have to explain an ad, you are in trouble)
