A tremendous amount of time, energy and money is spent on perception management.
The perception in the eyes of your customers.
The perception in the eyes of your competitors.
The perception in the eyes of your constituency.
Which is good. Perception TRULY is reality.
But, here’s a counterintuitive question for you:

Because that’s just as important.
For example:
Maybe you’re (not) perceived as a salesperson.
Rather, as a resource. A partner. A trusted advisor.
Maybe you’re (not) perceived as a manager.
Rather, as a coach. A leader. An guide for inspiration.
Maybe you’re (not) perceived as a consultant.
Rather, as an expert. A listener. A smart person whose brain you can rent.
Yep. Maybe the question, “What are you perceived as?” isn’t quite enough.
