There are two Definitions of an attitude as below,
1.
A settled
way of thinking or feeling about something.
2. Truculent or uncooperative behavior.
Being in the corporate world, it’s no easy job, we often
found ourselves in a Do or die situation, or sometimes we can’t decide what where
to act or showing our concerns, views on the topic, situation or assignments.
It is basis behavior of average corporate employee,
when our superior asked about any additional duties, projects, assignments, we generally
don’t have choices, caz our seniors have already decided our fate. Many times
we knew that any new duties, projects, assignments, couldn’t bring any new joys
to us caz we had already neck down with our current assignments.
Mr. X has Similar kind of situation, let's have a look at it.
When u gets a call or memo stating that: Mr. X meets
me in a meeting room we have to discuss new Projects in pipeline.
You get cautious when u called upon to discuss new
projects. You got trapped in past because you had not enough courage /
analytical views to strengthen your case.
In this situation what should be done here are the
some quick thinking & tips for your ref.
- Prepare your Current projects, assignments overview, your Role of responsibilities; make an analytical view for it, which includes lifecycle of projects, profitability, and accountability.
- Prepare your liability matrix (for yourself only) see if you can handle any other additional duties.
- Tried to get some information on a new project, because, you can’t afford to mislay a project which will brings you a more exposure, intensive, more bucks in your Pockets.
- Prepare Quaternaries for your New Role & Scope for new Project.
Now when time comes tom the meeting room, you can
go Confident, Go wise
Mr. Boss: Mr. X, You
know we have awarded new projects to our team & we have to do it. You will be the Sr. Executive (Operations & Site
Management) for that.
Mr. X: Mr.
Boss I am Grateful to u awarding me new Projects, I am happily about it, I think
I can deliver better if you can help me with my current assignments. :
Mr. Boss: what kind of help Mr. X?
Mr. X: As you know I have handling two Projects at same
time & I have been helping in two other projects as a consultant. It’s been
a very rigid time schedule for me to perform, if you can lay off some Assignments
form my desk so I can deliver Better.
Mr. Boss: Mr. X. I think your Proposal is right let
me have a think about it. I have to see what I can do? Meanwhile you can start
with new Project.
Mr. X: I had
made it clear to you in the first Sentence; I can deliver better if you
reorganize my responsibilities.
Mr. Boss: Don’t Show Me the Attitude, you have to
do it.
Mr. X: it’s not the attitude as you think but it is
my analytical view on my current & future Assignments. If I recall it
correctly as of a year before ‘’ you have assigned me a new projects which had
already consumes my entire timetable & I had to Performed anyway I have
done it through late night shifts & even worked on weekends. If you
still thinks this is an attitude, yes this is my attitude to words fair
Distribution of responsibilities. I had agreed to you in the past because I had
given my word & I had given no choice to reorganize my responsibilities. Now it’s your chance to fair play.
Mr. Boss: Hmmm. Let me think if I can spare some of
your Current responsibilities to others.
Mr. X: Thanks for accepting my Request. Upon on
your Confirmation I will start new project.
Sometimes you have to think of yourself for your
own grater good. Cause in corporate you have to suit up for yourself don’t
except help from others.
