Do You Have The Power?
We have all seen the co-workers that seem to be the real power brokers at work, these are the folks that make the decisions, talk to the CEO or some how always end up in the right place at the right time, don’t you just hate them?
Instead of hating them, start taking a look at what they do and why they are the power brokers, I bet you have had opportunity’s to become a power broker in the past and just did not recognize it.
Power Brokers, never miss the opportunity to step up and Take The Power, recently while solving a pay issue with one of my folks I gained some visibility within the organization and was asked to make a recommendation on next years pay plan. I could ask what my boss wanted this to look like. then move forward with a safe plan that matched his idea’s.
Or I could look at this as an opportunity to design the pay plan that I think makes sense, that will drive my sales staff to do the things that will make them and me look good next year. I have cart blanch to make a recommendation then go sell it.
The Door Is Open
What do you think I am going to do, step through and look around, or charge through with a guns blazing?
