In this episode you will learn: The recurring themes around career derailment that emerged in the course of a year of research (Number 1: interpersonal issues). The striking gap between our perceived self-awareness and our actual self-awareness, and a guaranteed solution for closing that gap. How to make that transformation of identity, the shift from "me to we," when you are promoted. The undeniable power of a mentor, and the very best way to ask someone to mentor you. What to do if you're the "Whirling Dervish" archetype, and just too busy to get things done. Quotes Carter Cast: On feedback: "Seek feedback in the moment, right after an event occurs, with your peers and with your boss. And give them an opening and show you're amenable to feedback." On determining what's important to your advancement: "You don't want a knowledge and skill gap in an area that's core to what the company is about, because you're limited in your ability to move up. Reduce the gap between what you know now and what you need to get to the next level. Do the gap analysis." On prioritizing: "I realized my emails represent someone else's agenda. Don't be a slave to someone else's activities."
