"Can We Push This Back?"
Feb 10, 2025
Have you ever caught yourself doing more than your fair share - staying late, picking up the slack, saying yes when you want to say no - because letting people down feels worse than being overwhelmed?
Or maybe you’re handling things your boss should notice - but instead of being rewarded, it’s just expected.
Or maybe you’ve been taught that working harder is the only way to get ahead.
But here’s the truth: Overdelivering isn’t loyalty. It’s self-sabotage.
Claire was the go-to person for everything. A fixer. A problem solver. Leadership leaned on her constantly - but they never saw her as a leader.
Emily made it to the top - but instead of feeling in control, she felt stuck. Her calendar was a mess, meetings ran into dinner, and while her family ate, she was stuck on Zoom. Decisions piled up, the pressure never stopped, and somehow, her time didn’t feel like her own anymore.
Here’s the powerful reframe: Doing more doesn’t make you indispensable. It makes you invisible. The more you overdeliver, the less they value your time. The real power move isn’t proving yourself - it’s owning your value.
The Power of a Commitment to Excellence Policy
Here's an idea for a performance policy that could serve both you and your team:
COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE POLICY: QUALITY & TIMELINESS
We’ve seen that high performers don’t wait for excellence to happen - they commit to it.
Our policy reflects this philosophy while fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, and impact.
Project Terms
- Clear Expectations: Every project starts with unshakable clarity - on deadlines, quality, and outcomes. No ambiguity.
- Full Ownership: If it’s yours, you own it. Progress, obstacles, solutions - no hand-holding.
- No-Excuse Culture: Challenges arise. No one cares why it didn’t happen - only how you fix it.
- Continuous Evolution: Each project is a test. We refine, improve, and raise the bar.
- Recognition of Excellence: Great work doesn’t go unnoticed. It’s seen, valued, and rewarded.
- Accountability, Not Blame: If a commitment is missed, we learn, adjust, and move forward - without excuses.
Our Commitment
This isn’t about pressure. It’s about performance.
