Lead: “Someone above me gets the recognition for my work” – The suffering of silent achievers
Often, loud employees are successful, also because they are more likely to catch the attention of managers. However, it's usually the quiet ones who keep a company running. How to succeed in no longer overlooking introverts.
Sophie Schütze, an employee at an unnamed authority, has been working for over seven years and feels her contributions go unrecognised. She claims to take pride in her work, ensuring it is of high quality and completed on time, but struggles to speak up about her achievements.
