What a horrible way to spend half of your waking hours, doing something you don’t enjoy.  Fortunately it doesn’t have to be this way.  There are people all over the world, who couldn’t stand their job, dropped it for doing something they enjoy, and are now far happier. Great leaders pursue their passions with strong conviction and great energy, which enables them to weather the tough times when others give up. In this episode, Arthur and the Squad offer career tips on how you too can build the career you want and deserve.

Anyone who’s ever worked for a boss who is disorganized, scatterbrained, or simply overworked knows how difficult it can be to figure out exactly what’s expected of them.  If you find yourself in such a situation, you generally have two options. You could grit your teeth and try to endure the uncertainty. You could also try your hand at “managing up.” In this episode, Arthur, Jerri & DJ dissect the technique of managing up.  Doing whatever you can to make your boss's job easier -- by essentially managing your manager  -- includes a combination of: communicating your priority and seeking feedback,being able to anticipate your boss's needs,and understanding what makes your boss tick.
