So remember to yourself that your inability to move up

is never going to be a function of whether or not somebody likes you,

but it will be a function of whether or not somebody knows you. Welcome back to the Quote of the Day show.

I'm your host Sean Croxton at Sean Croxton.com.

We got Carla Harris on the show today.

If you are one of those folks who says, I don't do the office politics.

I don't need to build relationships with people that work. I just go there and I do my job.

I let my work speak for itself and then I go home. And you're wondering why you're not getting promoted.

That's probably it.

And Carla today is going to talk about the importance of building those relationships,

how to build those relationships,

and also to always keep in mind that the people in your organization

who make decisions for you to move up, they need to

speak up for you and to have your back. But they can't do that if they don't know you. They can

know your work. But if they don't know you, that's not enough. Carla Harris is coming up.

The currency that now becomes most important is the relationship currency.

The relationship currency.

And relationship currency is worth about $2.25.

And it never experiences any diminishing marginal return.

And relationship currency is the currency that is generated by the investments that you make in the people in your environment.

The investments that you make in the people in your environment.

None of us work in a silo.
