I’d worked my butt off! Had great results! I expected someone to acknowledge this with a promotion. I felt entitled and was not seeing any movement from my boss. I became frustrated. As shameful as this is to admit, I became a victim of the circumstance.
Instead –
Mentally step into that position you want. Start viewing your work as if you’re already there. Promote yourself! Prove to everyone else that you are ready. Then take charge. Ask for the promotion. Be prepared to continue working for it with a positive attitude until it happens.
Bottom line:
Feeling entitled will only turn you into a victim that your team avoids.
Instead, envision yourself in the role and become that version of yourself today.
