Overview

These 16 tasks are a worthwhile career investment to make before your next performance review. The future you will thank you for taking the time now.

Early in my 20+ year corporate career, I thought that things would take care of themselves. Step up, do great work, and of course my manager would notice and reward me appropriately. Rarely, that will happen with an exceptional manager who is on top of things and is focused on developing your career. Rarely.

I discovered that it was much more common for a manager to be too busy to notice. I learned that I had to take charge of my own career development and advancement. I had to build the case for my raises and promotions. I had to be ready to make a big change if things weren’t going to work out. I had to be prepared.

I started my career with a Ph.D. in Psychology from Rice University. I then spent more than 2 decades in Silicon Valley Tech, leading global teams, moving up into executive roles, and launching new businesses, products, and services. You can learn more about my background on LinkedIn.
