Thomas! a great performer, that's what his colleagues say in ABC international ! .
He is in ABC International as senior executive for last 6 years. Counting the overall years Thomas served the same industry, it is more than 20 years .
It was another performance appraisal time in ABC International, and Thomas was expecting a leadership role post appraisal. Management granted him "good" as feedback .
Thomas was upset, he was expecting "great" as feedback but the management limited that to good!
What made the difference?
What pulled his performance down from reaching Leadership pinnacle in ABC International....
Its Unsaid competencies.
Unsaid competencies are everywhere , nobody tells, but everybody expects those in you!
Its like an unbranded mobile phone, people buy for great performance but unspoken expectations are basic working of mobile.
People don't trust an unbranded mobile when it comes to a significant need, Similarly a mobile with excellent basic functionalities also seldom creates impact.
So what makes the difference!
Whats pulls him back from moving up the ladder to a leadership role!
What are those unsaid leadership competencies!
Lets discuss in next series!
