When senior leaders doubt your abilities, the best response is to let your results do the talking. Focus on delivering tangible outcomes that align with the company's goals. This means setting clear objectives, tracking progress, and showcasing measurable successes. Nothing speaks louder than a track record of consistent, impactful results. Stay focused on solving problems, improving processes, and achieving your targets.
-
- Show Results: Highlight your achievements with data and metrics. - Communicate Effectively: Be transparent and listen to feedback. - Demonstrate Strategic Thinking: Share your vision and problem-solving skills. - Build Strong Relationships: Network and seek mentorship. - Lead by Example: Exhibit integrity, ethics, and a strong work ethic. - Develop Your Team: Empower and celebrate your team’s successes. - Seek Feedback and Improve: Continuously seek feedback and invest in professional development. - Stay Resilient: Handle criticism gracefully and maintain a positive attitude.

We need to determine the root cause of any doubts—whether it's stemming from poor performance in terms of achieving targets, low team morale, or high attrition rates. Only by identifying the true cause can we make meaningful progress. However, if the doubt arises from bias or prejudice, it's important to build alliances among senior leaders who can vouch for me and advocate on my behalf. Ultimately, performance and capabilities are measurable and should speak for themselves, but it’s equally vital to have advocates who recognize and support my contributions.

No doubt you already have high KPIs. It's painful to get these comments. Don't be demoralised if you have reason to believe it's down to being different to the dominant group. Look at what you can control, even if it's uncomfortable. Step 1: analyse how you are showing up. "Confidence = competence" - are you projecting confidence even when you don't feel it? Step 2: look around. Is someone else taking credit? Have you been letting your work "speak for itself"? Take a deep breath. Use your voice and showcase your impact. Avoid others filling in the blanks, erroneously. Step 3: evaluate your relationships. Have you neglected influential players? They are human, can you get closer to them? Can you take this as feedback to level up? A gift?

First I will say I was terminated once in 46 years of work. It was for this very reason I was told. The safety in our plants had improved quite a bit in my 23 months as the manager. The overall progress was not to my standard and when asked in a meeting with leadership I told my truth. We as a company are not where I think we should be. I took total responsibility as I am the EHS manager. While my site managers could have helped more they had plates piled high with tasks and I just couldn’t throw them under the bus nor the VP of ops. Our president moved on leaving a leadership vacuum. Throw in a 20 million dollar upgrade and the writing was clear. I think I could have reported better safety improvements. But that wasn’t true. We were safe!!
