173. What Happens if You Choose Invisibility?
This episode discusses the critical issue of visibility in the workplace. I explore the challenges faced by high achievers in communicating effectively with senior leaders and the detrimental effects of remaining invisible. I emphasize the importance of self-advocacy, effective communication, and empowering teams to ensure that their contributions are recognized. I encourage listeners to take actionable steps towards visibility and to reflect on their own roles in fostering a culture of openness and recognition within their organizations.
