If you start having doubts about being in the right job or company com-pany or having all the tools or support you need to succeed, adjustments may be needed to secure your position. If you are uneasy about your performance the first question to ask yourself is if the doubts are coming from your superiors superi-ors or from you. The term "projection" "pro-jection" describes a process where we think other people have a problem with us but in reality the problem is coming from us. For instance, let's say I've become bored with my work or am in a situation where I can't do a good job. The way the conscious mind works, if we don't have a process in place that allows us to regularly regu-larly evaluate how we're doing about work, so we can solve problems, it's easy to not realize real-ize what's happening. You have a problem with your job. You're bored or in a bad situation. You start cutting corners, do less than your best, take longer lunch hours, leave early, complain, avoid your boss and start feeling guilty about all of this. When this happens it's easy to turn guilt into resentment. With the resentment and anxiety building build-ing up you begin defending your position to yourself and to those you trust. Without realizing how this started (you were bored or in a bad situation), you've gotten caught up in believing yotir superiors have caused you to feel uneasy and insecure about your job. You begin acting differently dif-ferently and the people around you sense it they begin acting differently with you and the situation spirals downward, slowly or quickly, until something some-thing is done to stop the process. pro-cess. To stop this process you have ' to realize the problem starts with you and you have to want to fix it. Once you face this truth you need to analyze the cause of boredom or the rea- sons for the situation that puts you in a position of not being able to succeed. Get input from others; think about what your boss wants from you. Develop "a plan to solve the problem and turn it around as quickly as you can. If the problem was boredom you may have grown and changed enough to need new challenges. The best employees find new challenges challeng-es and can sell their evolving capabilities both inside and outside the company. Your job has a problem with you. The next scenario is that you have the skills and talent, believe you are doing your best, and enjoy your work. Yet, your superiors have problems prob-lems with your performance. If this is the case ask yourself who must you satisfy and are you doing what is needed for ' that person?
