How you present yourself is an advantage in today's job, just that Performance Often nothing matters anymore. 10 tips on how to make yourself better even as a hard-working employee merchandise.
Again Team-Meeting: Annoyed, colleague Müller drags himself into the meeting room while heaps of files are piling up on his desk. Müller knows exactly what is in store for him now:
Colleagues Mayer and Schmitt, these chatterboxes, will again come to the top form and go on for a long time in self-praise while the really important things remain. In the end, the result will be zero, but Müller has lost a lot of time. He calls this meaningless time-use.
But Müller is wrong. It's more important than constant high performance to watch colleagues and supervisors, for example in a meeting. Often, the many small and often laborious work steps are not seen at all. Much of the success depends much more on the image and the degree of familiarity in the company Companies.
Or to put it another way: What we see as top performance is not always what others appreciate who only look at the result. This shows that when it comes to career opportunities, gossips like Mayer and Schmitt have the better cards and someone like Müller, who is always hard-working Tasks processed, the hindsight.
The reason for this is how the environment perceives you: the Executive does not see, for example, how Müller day in day out in the Office toils. On the contrary, he only perceives someone who sits in a meeting with an annoyed expression and thinks that this must be a bad-tempered person.
On the other hand, he always hears what Mayer and Schmitt say about their job in the meeting and considers the two to be extremely committed and competently. In short: the boss only believes what he sees and hears; that may not always be fair, however People tick like that. It's all a matter of perspective and what is supposed to be Perspektive.
Another reason: Anyone who, like Müller, always does all the work that has arisen until the middle of the night without complaint, is considered conscientious, but does not get one Respect at others. Bosses and colleagues then have the impression that they can do anything with a miller because he doesn't self-respect and patiently says yes to everything. Not good career prospects. Because in leading position other properties are required.
To put it bluntly, this means: Anyone who always performs at their best and always wants to please the boss will not be promoted. Career rather do the self-portrayal. Many people know this from their own experience: Most of them have already experienced that it is not the better person that gets the praise, but rather the one who gets along well with the manager.
Even if constant willingness to perform is commendable in principle, other tactics usually lead to more Success: You should be aware that there are certain rules of the game that apply in the job.
You don't have to get up Costs profile others or constantly snuggle up to the boss. But instead of trying doggedly and at any price to achieve a certain level of performance, you should place more value on your own self-portrayal. A golden mean, so to speak. Then you will usually be more successful.
For success in the job, self-presentation often counts for more than pure performance. We show you how it works.

So, sorry, but what you describe as successful here is typically narcissistic behavior.
That this is more important in our current society than performance, commitment and work with heart is so. But that's still a long way from being right. And probably also the reason for so many mental illnesses, bullying, burnouts, etc.
For example, I work in the social field. If self-portrayal is more important in team meetings, then problems with clients are no longer discussed, I no longer dare to ask questions when I need support, there is no longer any reflection. Supervision becomes a farce ... because for all these things you need honesty and the ability to reflect, not self-expression.
I think it's a shame that such articles are written and that narcissistic behavior is encouraged.
Hello bea, thanks for the contribution, the article is aimed at people who wear themselves out at work every day because they believe that performance is all that counts and that they then burn out at some point.
Of course that is a shame, but the individual cannot change the entire social development but has to see how he can best manage himself.
Another reason why it works so well for narcissism is that the hardworking worker bees keep their backs free in the background and often unseen. Why not just do it the same way and let the narcissists run against the wall? Or how else should something change?
