Never have so many people doubted their work

Even managers are checking out

It no longer affects only teams. Gallup also reports that manager engagement fell from 27% to 22% in a single year. The people meant to support other people's careers are doubting their own.

Doubt is not failure

Doubting your work is not a weakness. It is often the first reliable information about what no longer works: a role that has changed, a sense of purpose that has faded, an ambition that has grown. The problem is what we do with it. Too often, nothing. We wait for the annual review, a reorganisation, an offer. We let others decide.

And doubt eventually turns into departure. In Switzerland, almost one working person in ten (9.4%) changed employer between 2023 and 2024, according to the Federal Statistical Office. Some of those moves are well-considered choices. Many are leaps in the dark.

Turning doubt into a decision

Nobody knows better than you what you want, or what you can do. You still need the time and the method to put it into words. That is exactly what career professionals do: ask the right questions, in the right order, then turn the answers into action.
