And she said to me that she asked someone, she tasked someone in her team with something and the team member turned around.
She was a graduate basically.
Team member turned around and said, I'm not prepared to deliver on that task because I don't believe that it's aligned with my values.
Now, my response to that would be, you work in a bank.
No one's values are aligned with a bank.
But in all seriousness, if you really think about it and your values are clashing to such a degree that you can't deliver on something that you're asked to do, that's going to go up the chain.
And so
The team leader said to me, unfortunately, that person's just discounted herself from promotion.
I don't want her in my team.
I'm going to ship her off somewhere else so she can't impact the productivity of my team.
I think the most important thing about developing ourselves as future leaders is making sure we're with a business where we feel like we really belong, where the values and belief systems are present.
very closely aligned with where we're at and those things change over time so perhaps even coming out of COVID you might think you know what I used to really think that my values were tight with the business but now I feel like they're coming apart for whatever reason so maybe it's time I explore other opportunities if you're not at the right business or not in the right culture now is the time to make a move and I think that's the best way you can position yourself as a leader or a future leader um
It's the only way you are really going to be able to extend yourself and give everything that's going to be required of you to accelerate in your career.
You know, none of us can, you know, I couldn't work at Big Tobacco, for example.
Like imagine stepping into a business where you actually felt like
you are palpably opposed to the values of the business.
So if you are, then get out and go somewhere where you can really do the best work and serve, you know, and serve that mission in a way that makes you feel amazing.
And that's completely fine.
And I also think that volunteering that is completely fine, you know, as per my example.
But if you are going to volunteer that, you have to understand that the repercussions are highly unlikely that you'll be promoted within the system.
