This whole post is really well put together. When a manager knows they can trust a person on staff the whole game changes. They give them bigger projects and more responsibility. This is a great guidebook to getting to that trustworthy stage.
I saved this in my bookmarks to read later as I was intrigued by the title of the post and also the name of the substack. I've struggled with this area in a remote workplace with a manager who is not empathetic.
Skill #4 resonated the most with me -> Emotional self-management, being that cheerleader for yourself. My mother brought me up that when you are having a good or bad day, to talk it out over a cup of tea, so that's what I've always tried to do. With my previous manager, we would meet regularly (back when I worked in an office) and I'd make a cup of tea and he would allow me to be open and he'd coach me.
In absence of that, I've been using my Journal to self-talk myself off the ledge or use it to celebrate the small wins. This has been helpful, but I will be sure to check out the book that you suggested!
Thanks for the supremely detailed post, you are doing great - keep them coming, as they are helping people :)
Sound advice, thank you! I loved the distinction between 'tactical' and 'strategic' input, it just goes to show how you need to go to the next level if you want to advance in your career.
I love everything you write 😭 it's such a great article and one I think so important.
Hold yourself accountable even if others don't.
Such a lovely insightful article! So relatable to apply and practice! Thanks Irina for this writeup!

Self-management skills are so great, and I've always been appreciative of folks on my team(s) that have them or at least a desire to learn them.
It's also very useful if you ever find yourself lacking a good manager.
Thank you Irina for the great content and the book recommendations 🙂
