đĄ Invincible Tip - No, That Problem Won't Go Away (Issue #491)
Deal with it before it deals with you
I have some bad news. Problems donât just âgo awayâ if you try to ignore them. Silence doesnât always mean that concerns have been forgotten. They fester, grow larger, or come back to bite you in the butt later.
Whatâs worse than seeing a scorpion skittering across your bedroom floor?
Knowing thereâs a scorpion somewhere in your bedroom, but you donât know where it is right now. And you wonât be able to find it before you go to sleep tonight.
Yes, itâs not fun to face an unpleasant situation head-on. But it will only be more painful to deal with it later when itâs bigger, uglier, and nastier.
If you sense your manager isnât happy with you, use your next 1-on-1 meeting to dig deeper and find out if there really is a problem. Then, address it.
If you have a problem with another employee, schedule a meeting to discuss and resolve the issue together.
If you need clarity about a situation, ask for more information now. Donât put it off for days, weeks, or months!
Donât live in a state of frustrating ambiguity. It will slowly kill your career if you let it persist.
