It’s no fun to toil away at a job where you feel taken for granted. But don’t sit around waiting for people to notice your or your team’s good work. Find ways to highlight your contributions. For example, ask your boss if you can talk about your team’s responsibilities in an all-staff meeting. Tell the other departments what your team does, what its goals are, and how it’s striving to do better. You can also tout your accomplishments in smaller meetings or in one-on-ones with your boss. While you should be generous with praise for your team members, it’s OK to be honest about your personal achievements: “I accomplished X and Y, and I am grateful for the support that I had.” When you appreciate and acknowledge your colleagues’ work, they’ll usually return the favor.
