Dealing With Favoritism At Work

Ask yourself:

• How do I help my manager achieve team goals?
• Am I hitting my goals / KPIs?
• What am I doing to make my managers job easier?
• Am I doing anything to cause tension / friction at work?
  

Action items:

• Ask your manager how you can help
• Discuss your wins in 1:1's or team meetings (when appropriate)
• Ask for feedback from your leader and team (if it makes sense, usually does)
• Look for areas where you make something easy for your leader or team
• Ensure the goals, individually and team are clear and have deadlines
• Is the entire team being held accountable for the same things?
• Volunteer to lead projects, meetings, assignments
• Keep it about you and how you can improve and do better vs them
• Stay positive and keep out of team gossip
• Be honest
• Stay motivated and working hard
• Try to assume good intent vs malicious intent
• Have an honest, transparent conversation with your leader in a 1:1
• If you are being favorited, try to share the love aka praise, projects, attending conferences, classes, etc.
