Many people consider quitting a job because they haven’t figured out how to deal with the situations they face. They feel stymied by a lack of opportunities, frustrations with their bosses, or other problems. While there’s likely some truth in their points of view, often employees haven’t taken charge of their talent. They’ve left assumptions about what can and can’t happen unchecked.
The result? They go to another job and the same problems stick with them because they haven’t figured out how to handle them.
“What can you do?” Find someone to ask you a few key questions.
Examine what your hopes are for your career, why they are important to you, and what obstacles you face. In a structured conversation that you can complete in 45 minutes to an hour in what we call a Talent Catalyst Conversation, you also explore how you’ve successfully dealt with similar situations in the past and what resources and actions you can take to make the current situation better and fulfill your hopes.
