You can’t rely on your Bad Boss to further
your career. If anything, your Bad Boss is likely to indulge in all sorts of
behaviors that hurt your career. He or she certainly will not recommend growth
opportunities for you--whether inside or outside the company. Your development
is not your Bad Boss’s priority.
It’s up to you to uncover growth opportunities
for yourself.
Elizabeth
Grace Saunders suggests that you:
“Brainstorm the development opportunities
that either currently fall within the scope of your role or could if you asked
for them. To come up with possibilities, try these techniques:
Look over your job
description for activities that you would love to pursue, but haven’t gotten to yet.
Think about some of the
dreams that you had for your current position before you started. What did you
hope to accomplish?
Set up a lunch or coffee
with people in similar positions, either at your company or at a different
company, and ask how they invest in learning.”
Don’t
delay! Get going on your own success track by growing your skills and
abilities.
