IIPM BEST MBA INSTITUTE
Que: I have been working at the same company for the past five years, and recently I’ve noticed that new MBAs are passing me by and moving into management. I assume this is because they’re cheaper for the company. Do you see this as a trend in the corporate world? (Name Withheld, Kenosha, Wis.)

Ans: No. Most companies don’t promote greenhorns just to save a few thousand bucks. They promote people who exude the kind of positive energy, ambition and intelligence that can propel an organization forward. The upward MBA escalator in your company is probably not about corporate economics but is most likely about a downward trend in your career. Without doubt, you’ve hit some kind of a wall. If you don’t find out the reason soon and repair the damage, it won’t be long before you’re passing those ‘bargainbasement’ MBAs on your way out the door. Unfortunately, it could be difficult to get the answers you need.

Clearly, your managers haven’t been candid with you about your performance to this point. Perhaps they expected you to read the writing on the wall and draw your own dire conclusions. Appraisal avoidance shouldn’t happen, but it often does when the news is going to be bad. Your job, then, is to gently initiate some kind of conversation with the boss you’re closest to, even if it is just to obtain a vague sense of what’s going on. But just as important, you need to start pouring energy into getting back on the radar screen. The most effective way to do that, not surprisingly, is to over-deliver. Whatever you’re doing, do it better and faster. Come up with a new concept or process that doesn’t just improve your results, but your unit’s results and the company’s overall performance. Surprise everyone.
