Fear of The "Boss" - The Biggest Obstacle To Career Progression
For many workers, their boss is far from their best friend. Thinking of being friends with a boss doesn't feel right; the boss isn't someone you go to lunch with or hang around the coffee pot chatting with. The boss is the person deciding if you are doing a good job or not and if you will get a raise or promotion or be passed up. Workers are in fear the boss might lay them off or fire them. The boss seems to be very powerful - in fact causes huge fear in many employees. That fear has become the biggest obstacle to career progress for thousands of workers.
"For most employees, whether or not they get to move up the career ladder and make more money depends entirely on the subjective opinion of their "boss". That is very scary," says Terri Levine, Career Coach and bestselling author of "Stop Managing, Start Coaching", who has helped hundreds of people overcome their fears and achieve career success. "It's that fear that has employees stuck and afraid to ask for a raise or to go for a promotion and keeping them from the career progress they desire."
Levine also says that fearless workers who aren't afraid of what their bosses think are the ones who get ahead and do the best.
Ms. Levine has helped over 340 people overcome their fear - a condition she calls "boss-fright". The key she says is to stop worrying about what the boss thinks, and to believe that only YOU have power over your career – when you feel you are in charge, you are. "It is possible to beat "boss-fright", says Levine, "and achieve your career dreams."
