Today, we will go more internal with our worlds.
The less people speak of their greatness, the more we think of it.
- Lord Bacon
So, youre doing well. You want to make sure your boss and other important people know about it. This is a tricky place to be, because you dont want to be a braggart and at the same time a little recognition would be nice.
Best case is that your boss notices and says something to you.
2nd is that your boss notices, but doesn't say anything to you.
3rd best case is a peer notices and points it out to everyone.
You will notice there wasnt a "you run and tell your boss how great you are"
There is a difference between sharing a big win and summarizing your wonderfulness, and i would even suggest that if you have a big win, that its going to get noticed when the reports come out anyway, so why not let choice 1 happen?
Patience is still a virtue.
The words you don't say have more impact than the ones you do.
