Recently conversations with the higher ups made me feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster. What's the point of a title with the job description of a leader, when everything is all talk but no actual action.

Perhaps not everyone is cut out to be leader. or perhaps our system is such that as you remain in the system longer, the higher you climb even if you do not have the necessary qualifications. Or perhaps you do have the paper qualification, but not the qualities. Its the same if I were to give the example of a intellectually smart person who can write tons of academic articles but can't teach.

In my conversations with my RO, there's just that little mentioned about personal growth. All i felt was the refusal to acknowledge where I wish myself to venture into, but more of a warning of the possibility of rejection. 

Yet in my conversations with my VP, i could sense that she's really wanting to give sound advice to whatever career progression I wish to venture in..

Then in my conversations with my P, wow.. it was offending, with the lack of recognition and just pure dismissive. 

Sigh... the world of politics..
