I am undecided on whether this post is controversial or obvious. The number of times I see people lose sight of this objective is the reason I chose it as the topic of my third newsletter.
Well put and I agree. To get to this step though, you have to gain the skill of learning what is most important to your manager at any time and what they are trying to impress on their manager - in addition to doing your work well. It's not always the obvious and it takes some confidence to ask the right questions and listen in order to find out. I hope you tackle a post on how to talk to your manager and/or how to manage up successfully. I'd enjoy that.
