November 2 - November 23, 2015 17 Working World l WorkingWorld.com JOB OPPORTUNITIES Consequently, the regional manager that jumped up and served his boss has grown his career tremendously; he has started his own company, is achieving great success and is now making three times the annual income he was 15 years ago—and his career is continuing to grow. His peer, on the other hand, changed bosses several times over the course of the next few years. His career trajectory plateaued, but in spite of his lack of upward momentum he has continued to complain about others and insist he deserves more. Sadly this peer, like most bitter professionals, probably has all the skill and knowledge needed to accomplish great things, but lacks the desire and humility to serve up to success. THE LESSON If you are in a situation where you're being pegged as a "Yes Man" or a "kiss up," ask yourself this, "Am I sucking up or serving up? Are my words and actions coming from a genuine place or are they insincere?" If you are serving up—which means working hard and pleasing those in your life that matter—keep doing it. Know that those who would call you a "suck up" or a "Yes Man" are just jealous (and most likely bitter) of how you help those around you. Be gracious and be respectful to those in authority positions, not from a position of weakness, rather in a position of power, so that one day when you're in that power position the people that follow you will have the same respect for you. In business today, no matter if you work for a major corporation or you own your own small consulting firm, you're paid to help people and the more people you help the more success you will achieve. So serve and help those you call your boss, customer or peer, and no matter your current title or position, it will not be your last as you grow and flourish. Servants are leaders that understand their value and the humility to live it.
