Facetime? The economy is crazy and companies are trying to figure out how to innovate and his answer is… Facetime? Really? Seriously?

Facetime is a ‘boomer’ mantra constructed because there are so darn many of them – they had to be “visible” all the time just to get noticed. I’m sorry but the bulletproof points outlined seem a bit outdated.

When managing highly effective teams and creating innovation – the answer is NOT facetime, etc.. The answer is figuring out how to create positive change and work ourselves out of a job – not charge ahead toward job security. I honestly can’t think of anything more boring or unfulfilling.

To the quote about hard work: “don’t know how the meaning of hard work.”…“work hard, go the extra mile and don’t complain.” I say: It’s not my problem if I’m twice as efficient as the person next to me who needs “facetime”. I choose to work smart, produce high quality, show people how to think differently, and make sure I create success for others. That’s the impression I want to leave with my boss – and his boss.

Career coaches are a fantastic tool if used properly – especially for women in the world we work in. Who the heck else is going to advise women on how to succeed in the boys’ club? The boys?
