I’m also sorry to say that others – your manager in particular – may not notice your potential for greater things either. You can’t expect your manager to know what you want for your career over the long or short haul. You need to talk to your manager about your career plans and if he can help you with career growth.

I teach coaching skills to groups of managers regularly; every individual executive client I have gets taught coaching skills in some way or another; and of course, I practice coaching myself (I call it “practice” on purpose). One of the biggest pushbacks I get from those I teach almost always has to do with the time that coaching takes.
