The Dependability Trap: When Being the “Go-To” Holds You Back

You work hard. People trust you, customers rely upon you, and your boss knows he can give you the most difficult projects.

So, why aren’t those things automatically leading to bigger opportunities?

In this episode, I'll discuss the "The Dependability Trap." This is what happens when so much organizational value depends on you personally that keeping you exactly where you are becomes the easiest option, for everyone.

You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between being highly-valued and being developed for greater responsibility, why your vision and deep thinking gets watered down as information moves upward, and how to begin identifying work that needs to become more visible, transferable, or scalable.
