1 min

(and how to fix them):

1) Not having a career growth plan

❌ You don't have full clarity on what you want to do with your career, so you don't plan. ✅ Fix it by coming up with career growth objectives for the next 2 quarters and let longer term career clarity emerge through action.

2) Incorrectly assessing progress

❌ You believe you are not growing in the midst of ruthless execution of day-to-day activities. ✅ Fix it by reflecting on your achievements over the past quarter to objectively inspect for growth. Seek inputs from manager and mentor.

3) Not making your work visible

❌ You believe that making your work visible is bragging ✅ Fix it by showcasing both work in progress and completed work with an intent to improve and scale your efforts.
