When you think about career growth, do you also think about that coworker who doesn’t work as hard as you, who’s not quite as intelligent as you, but who keeps getting promoted—and you don’t? Is she the boss’s niece? Does she have dirt on the VP of sales? Is the head of human resources her die-hard fan? Or is she just attacking her career from a different perspective?
