Ep. 35: How to show your boss that you can bell the cat (and other mighty things too)

from The Working Ant · host Ramy Ballout

You have just one boss, but your boss has many direct reports.  You have infrequent scheduled 1-1's with your boss, but your boss has several 1-1's with his directs each day.  Such limited interactions on our side, and such an abundance of interactions on our leader's side means we must be more deliberate and intentional about these very infrequent conversations - our career progression depends on it! With such limited time with those who hold power over our progress, I'm going to coach you on how to build stronger, more meaningful, and deeper conversations with your boss. Be the one to bell the cat! That's in this week's episode of the Working Ant.
