Hugh has been collecting manifestos that are 500 words or less. A couple of days ago, he posted The Career Manifesto from Micahel Wade at Execupundit.
Some of the points that catch my brain:
3. You are paid to take meaningful actions, not superficial ones. Don’t brag about that memo you sent out or how hard you work. Tell us what you achieved.
4. Although your title may be the same, the job that you were hired to do three years ago is probably not the job you have now. When you are just coasting and not thinking several steps ahead of your responsibilities, you are in dinosaur territory and a meteor is coming.
7. If you have a problem with co-workers, have the guts to tell them, preferably in words of one syllable.
8. Don’t believe what the organization says it does. Its practices are its real policies. Study what is rewarded and what is punished and you’ll have a better clue as to what’s going on.
Read the whole thing. It’s short. It won’t take long. The Career Manifesto
