Reframe Self-Promotion as Team Education
Self-promotion is often perceived negatively, especially by those who identify as introverts, leading to a reluctance to advocate for themselves and their team's accomplishments. However, reframing self-promotion as an educational opportunity can significantly shift this mindset. When viewed through the lens of informing managers and stakeholders about the team's successes and needs, the act becomes not only palatable but essential for building credibility and securing resources. The distinction between self-promotion and team education can empower individuals to actively share their successes without discomfort. Presenting achievements as valuable contributions to the team and product rather than personal accolades encourages a culture of advocacy and increases the chances of success. Individuals often underestimate their own worth and the impact of their knowledge, leading to a hesitance in speaking up. Recognizing that discussing one's work is not merely about personal gain but about fostering growth and support for the entire team can motivate more product managers to embrace their voices and share their insights effectively.
