When you are a cog in the wheel of a company, there's an unspoken expectation that you're there to be part of the team. I don't think you can do that when the person on the other end of the conversation is your boss. You have to either find those environments in which you're getting the right areas of growth or you have to go and to some degree create your own business.
Do you feel connected to your role currently? Do you feel important? Do you feel like you’re close to burning out? Many companies focus on employee engagement, but their idea of growth and engagement isn’t guaranteed to be exactly what you want or need. In today’s episode, Rachel Cooke of Lead Above Noise talks about the four different types of growth and how you can drive your own career growth.
