Losing your voice in organizational matters moves management one step closer to running affairs without your input. You get negative feedback. It is no great surprise that continued negative feedback regarding you job performance is a red flag that may lead to dismissal. However, keeping an open mind to criticism and paying attention to people skills can provide you with information to improve your performance and help you manage your career successfully. The economy is working against you.
Economic factors are difficult indicators for anyone to manage.
But when financial issues become apparent and the rumor mill is working overtime, the best advice is to network, network, network both within and outside the organization. Every supervisor expects subordinates to remain productive by keeping abreast of new developments and practices in the industry. Attending seminars, workshops, and lectures as well as initiating your own plan of study will help you meet these expectations. When an association executive does not appear to be keeping up with these responsibilities, he or she is no longer viewed as a catalyst for productivity and advancement within the organization. You miss objectives.
