Podcast appearances and mentions of dan rust

Back in October of 2016, when admittedly the world seemed a bit of a simpler place, I wrote an article called “An organizational consultant can't save you now.” Probably four years before that, as I was leaving New York City, I actually really wanted to be a consultant. Less than a half-decade later, I had soured completely on the idea. In that article I wrote, I quoted a guy named Dan Rust who has a book called Workplace Poker. In that book, he equates work to “chimp rape.” Not kidding. Ironically, that was one of the posts where I first started interacting with Anil Saxena, who has been a digital and e-mail friend of mine for about three years now. I wanted to bring him on this episode and talk about both life and work. Admittedly we probably spend 90 percent of the time talking about work, but work takes up a big chunk of the middle part of your life, so I was OK with it. We talk about psychological safety, the role of HR, the role of leaders, and at the end there's a sequence about a crappy job interview he had and what it meant when he eventually took the role. Let's get to it.

Keeping a record of career accomplishments is an employee’s own responsibility. If a manager is accountable for ten people, they may not remember the special thing one team member did ten months ago. A person can make it easier on themselves and on their manager by keeping track of their accomplishments, and by letting managers know, specifically, what those accomplishments are. This becomes a powerful tactic when a juicy promotion becomes available. Self-promotion and managing your career is part of your career. An employee should want to gain as much as they can during the course of their career, says guest expert Dan Rust. Self-promotional strategies should be genuine, positive and occur during the course of a normal workday. Tactics to help you toot your own horn at work: Have a response for your boss when they ask how things are going. Make the most of your annual review. Make them see you sweat, BUT meet your deadlines. Offer to help others and tell your boss about it. Promote others. The key is to not be anonymous. Make your ideas or insights known, during a conference call or meeting, even if the idea is incomplete. A study found that those who are willing to step forward with an unpopular idea, leave other people with a higher perception of them. Furthering your career path is a game you can win!
