1 Avalie sua situação
O primeiro passo é entender por que seu chefe não apoia seus objetivos de carreira. É porque eles estão muito ocupados, muito inseguros, muito rígidos ou muito inconscientes de suas aspirações e potencial? Ou é porque seus objetivos são irrealistas, pouco claros ou incompatíveis com a visão e a estratégia da organização? Tente ser objetivo e honesto sobre seu próprio desempenho, expectativas e comunicação com seu chefe. Você pode encontrar algumas áreas onde você pode melhorar ou ajustar sua abordagem.

Just like the unique structure of DNA, every individual possesses distinct qualities, each person has their own unique perspective and limitations. When faced with a lack of support for your career goals from your boss, it's important to consider whether your objectives are realistic and attainable. While understanding your boss's limitations, don't allow this to deter you from pursuing your career goals. It may be worthwhile to reassess your approach and seek guidance from experienced individuals who have encountered similar challenges. Additionally, reconsider how you communicate your aspirations to your boss and explore alternative ways to gain their support.

2 Busque feedback e orientação
Não espere que seu chefe inicie uma conversa sobre seus objetivos de carreira. Seja proativo e peça feedback e orientação regulares sobre seu trabalho, seus pontos fortes e suas áreas de melhoria. Mostre que você está ansioso para aprender e crescer, e que você valoriza a opinião e a experiência do seu chefe. Você também pode pedir sugestões específicas sobre como alcançar seus objetivos de carreira, como assumir novos projetos, participar de cursos de treinamento ou ingressar em redes profissionais. Dessa forma, você pode demonstrar sua iniciativa e comprometimento, e também obter algumas informações sobre a perspectiva e as expectativas do seu chefe.

Once you have a clearer understanding of the factors influencing your boss's support, consider seeking feedback directly from them. Engage in a constructive dialogue where you express your career aspirations and ask for their perspective on how these align with the team's and organization's goals. This conversation can be an opportunity to negotiate and find common ground, potentially leading to a more supportive relationship. Additionally, seek out mentors within the organization who can offer guidance and advocate for you. Their insights could help bridge any gaps between your ambitions and the organization's direction.

Don’t wait for your boss to start talking about your career. Be the one to ask how he thinks you are doing and where you can improve. Show that you're eager to learn and appreciate their advice. It’s a very good move to ask them, “What are the KPIs you value for me to be successful in my job?” This opens the door for specific guidance on reaching your career goals, like taking on new tasks, choosing the right workshops, or expanding your professional circle. It’s a nice way to show you’re in it to grow new skills and helps you get a clear picture of what your boss is looking for.

3 Encontre fontes alternativas de suporte
Se o seu chefe não apoia seus objetivos de carreira, você não precisa contar apenas com eles para o seu desenvolvimento profissional. Você pode buscar fontes alternativas de apoio dentro e fora da sua organização, como mentores, coaches, colegas ou especialistas. Essas pessoas podem oferecer conselhos, feedback, incentivo e oportunidades para aprimorar suas habilidades e conhecimentos em gerenciamento de operações de TI. Você também pode aproveitar recursos on-line, como blogs, podcasts, webinars ou cursos, para aprender com as melhores práticas e tendências em seu campo.

If your career ambitions don’t match your boss's vision, it's smart to take a closer look at their goals for you. Ask yourself if mastering these skills will make you a better employee and boost your appeal in the job market. If it seems like these goals won't benefit your career in the long run, consider scouting for new opportunities. I would recommend looking for a different role within your company first, perhaps a boss with a mindset more in tune with yours. Or if those aren’t options, checking out what other companies have to offer. It’s all about finding the right fit for your growth and future.

I am a strong proponent of not relying on solely looking up the corporate structure for support, but rather looking to those beside me and especially so for those below. I often see disconnects between the white-collar management's ideas on how things should be done compared against what blue-collar staff are able to actually deliver. Work with people at every level of the business and your understanding of how a business truly operates will both make you indispensable and noticeable for future opportunities.I've worked for a boss who had the "show up and figure it out" mentality. I did what I could to learn from those around me & ended up earning me a promotion to different division with a boss who is the best I've ever worked with.

4 Concentre-se em suas conquistas e valor

Destaque como você resolveu problemas, melhorou processos, entregou resultados e agregou valor aos seus clientes e partes interessadas. Isso irá ajudá-lo a construir sua confiança e credibilidade, e também tornar seu chefe consciente de seu potencial e aspirações.

Focus on tracking your tasks, especially how they align with goals your boss values. For instance, every time you resolve an incident, it could be nice to update the knowledge article in the company’s tool like ServiceNow. This demonstrates your commitment to maintaining an updated knowledge base, a key priority for your boss. Additionally, consider personal task management apps like Todoist or Notion for organizing your work and keeping an eye on your contributions. This dual approach showcases your achievements, aligns your efforts with your boss’s expectations, and highlights the value you bring to the organization.

Before doing something drastic: Reflect on the received feedback, support, and wins along the way. Explore hidden insights and opportunities. These clues may show you can grow in your current role. Think what these signals mean for your career. Maybe you're in the right spot, but just needing to adjust your approach? Before deciding, plan carefully. Sometimes, a situation seems worse than it is because you haven't seen all it offers. Remember, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Reflect to decide if making the most of where you are or seeking a new path is best with your goals.

Growth is central to our journey, both professionally and personally. 'Do I grow in the direction I want?' The skills and insights gained at work often spill over into our personal lives, shaping who we are. Think about whether your daily tasks align with your values and aspirations. Do they keep you up at night, wrestling with ethical dilemmas? Are you okay with the morality of your work, such as engaging with foreign states known for poor treatment of their people? Reflecting on these aspects can steer you towards decisions that not only boost your professional growth but also align with your personal values and the impact you aim to make.
