Coaching Q&A

What Is Your "Change Personality?"

The only thing certain in life is change, and people react to change in different ways.  When it comes to dealing with change, we all have strengths and weaknesses.  But since change is a constant at work, the wrong reaction can sometimes be a career-killer.
See if you can spot your "change personality" on our Spotlight page.  If you find that you are an Optimist, a Follower, a Worrier, a Resister, or an Advocate, pay particular attention to the strengths and weaknesses of that profile.

 

 

I'm ready to quit!

Q: My manager encouraged me to apply for a promotion to senior accountant.  Unfortunately, after I submitted my resume, the position was changed to one with supervisory duties.

Although I was one of four finalists, the job went to an outside candidate from a search firm.  I feel that I was set up to fail.

Now, much to my dismay, I’m expected to train my new supervisor when he starts work.  At the same time, I am single-handedly running a critical project and also training another employee. 

I feel that management is taking advantage of me, so I have begun to look for another job.  Am I wrong to resent this situation?  Fed Up
