Reputation Drives Career Success

Your career success has almost nothing to do with who you actually are. It is entirely based

on your reputation, which is just a story other people tell about you. We spend years obsessing

over our identity, thinking I am a hard worker or I am strategic, but the data shows

your boss only cares about the signal you send. This is the identity-reputation gap.

You judge yourself by your intentions, but everyone else judges you strictly by your actions.

If you want to get promoted, stop trying to fix your personality and start fixing

how you show up.
