Day 5: If you manage yourself successfully, no one else will need to manage you. They can guide you, support you, cheer you on – but they will have confidence you don’t need them. You can do a good job if left on your own.

A lack of self-sufficiency can lead to coworkers feeling like they do more work than the person who doesn’t meet the basic standards of their job unless pushed by the supervisor to do so. This gap in self-awareness can lead these people to interview for supervisor positions and of course – they aren’t going to get the job because there is a perception they aren’t meeting the requirements of their current job, let alone take on more responsibility. And that leads to resentment, more misplaced behaviors, and so the cycle continues until hopefully the person realizes a change IN THEM is needed.

On average, people spend about 1/3 of their waking hours at work, so a shift in attitude might improve your overall well-being. Practicing self-sufficiency is a confidence booster. The more confident you become, the more you demonstrate self-sufficiency and the easier it is to work with you.

The 15 Day Attitude Challenge aligns with Catherine's book, LIVE IT! Mastering Positive Attitude Habits, 15 Practical Tips For Managing Your Mindset, available on Amazon:
