One of her colleagues had just been promoted and, although the guy who got it was good, she didn't think he was any better than her. Well, except at one thing, he was always playing politics - sucking up to the more senior guys and volunteering to be on any committee going.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDebra knew the type - went to the same school, belonged to the same club - she didn't have a hope against the kind of connections he had so she might as well give up. It seemed doing a good job just wasn't enough around here.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDebra and Johann work in an environment with multiple and complex reporting lines - in other words, a matrix. There's room to \"slip between the cracks\" - if a person wants to take advantage of confusion over who is managing performance; or if they can't make the necessary transition to self-management. Communication can be difficult even when there is an apparently shared language.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRead how Johann and Debra work together to identify the skills needed to succeed in a matrix, and how using Emotional Intelligence (EI) can develop specific behaviours you can incorporate in your daily job.
