So, do your best, but don’t restrict and perfect the situation so much that you limit the
amount of risk you are willing to take. Understand that anything can flop at any time. It is
how you deal with it and learn from it that will make you stronger and more valuable — a
true leader.

Many women believe if they put their heads
down and work hard, they will be noticed by their

leaders and will be approached for promotions, raises,
opportunities, etc. When our firm restructured many
years ago, several new leadership positions were created. I put my head down, grew my
practice, groomed my people and served my clients.

Much to my surprise a few weeks later, an e-mail was sent with the filled leadership
positions. My name was not on that list. How could that be? My head is down and I’m
working hard! They knew I was working hard, and they really appreciated all I was

doing, but they never bridged the gap that the reward I was looking for was one of those
leadership roles and not a pat on the back.

I never asked them questions about the positions. I didn’t know there was a “list”
(by the way, there is one in every organization) and had done nothing to help get myself
on that list. I just assumed they would see my good work and good deeds and reward me
the way I wanted to be rewarded. You need to ask questions of your leaders especially
as it relates to that promotion or special assignment you want a shot at. Speak up and get

yourself on the list.
