Don't Neglect Your Job to Look Smart

I have seen lots of people who want to show how smart they are how capable they are of doing the next job and in the process neglect the things that they are being paid to do in their current role.

That is a path to not only to not get promoted but probably even not to be around for long.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments. And if you're looking for more ways you can be looked at more positively for a promotion, I have a whole video that covers this and the mistakes you should avoid.

My book on using productive conflict to get your team and organization back on track:

About me:
I've never climbed Mount Everest (and never will). So far, I've never been in space. I don't even have an Olympic gold medal (although I did win the Grade 9 Phys Ed award). But the prize for solving the most difficult team challenges is named after me (no, not really, but someday it probably will be).

For the past 25 years, I've researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance. Known as the “teamwork doctor,” I've worked with teams from the frontlines to the boardroom, across a variety of industries, and around the globe from Boston to Bangkok. In working with hundreds of teams, including 26 Global Fortune 500 companies (and counting), I've developed a unique perspective on the challenges that teams face – and how to solve them.
