Why do companies still reward visibility more than actual results? I work with people who spend half their time announcing what they’re going to do and the other half celebrating it, even when the work is mid. Meanwhile, the quiet people who get stuff done without drama are completely overlooked. I don’t want to turn every task into a performance, but I’m starting to wonder if I have to.

Yeah. This. Visibility is celebrated over actual innovative work that takes longer but doesn’t show as frequently. In my case I think it is so leaders can show their leaders they are ‘delivering’. Doesn’t matter what you deliver as long as it it tangible and visible

I hear you on this. I try to have 1:1s with various people (especially of influence) because I’m not naturally ‘bragg-y’, but these 1:1s allow me to talk about my work and value with people (AND build relationships). One-to-one conversations just feel more natural to me.

Also in analytics btw - hope to see other good answers
