But whatever I say usually involves,<br \/>\n<i>\u201cWell, I wear a lot of different hats\u2026\u201d<\/i><br \/>\nWearing many hats, aka the ability to multi-task, lend a helping hand, or fill a void, seems to be perceived as a high value quality. I\u2019m sure you work with someone who considers it one of his\/her best skills. You\u2019ve probably hired someone recently who lists it on a resum\u00e9.<br \/>\nMaybe you\u2019re like me and you find it the simplest way to explain your job.<br \/>\nAfter coming back from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powertrainexpo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ATRA Powertrain Expo<\/a>, I started thinking about this simple, oh-so-natural-to-say explanation. And as harmless, even positive, as it seems, I decided that there\u2019s a catch:<br \/>\n<strong>Picture your shop.<\/strong> You (or one of your employees) is likely a manager, salesman, customer service rep, bookkeeper, and technician all rolled into one.<br \/>\n<strong>Imagine your office.<\/strong> You (or part of your team) is probably a meeting planner, account manager, disciplinarian, leader, or even unpaid therapist at times.<br \/>\nWhen you first put on a different hat and take on a new task, it\u2019s exciting. What you\u2019re contributing feels like it has a <b><i>real<\/i><\/b> impact. And it does. So, you might put on another hat. And another. And another. And another.<br \/>\nAnd what happens?<br \/>\nYou end up with a head covered in metaphorical hats \u2013 and a bunch of things to do, none of which are getting your full time, attention, or skills.<br \/>\nFeeling stressed? Overwhelmed? Not making the progress with your customers that you\u2019d like to be?<br \/>\nTake inventory of how many hats you\u2019re wearing.<br \/>\nFor the ones that work, keep \u2018em and refocus your efforts. For the ones that are holding you back, find them a new home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-1201 alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px\" title=\"The Woman Behind the Curtain\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Jennifer1-150x150.jpg\" width=\"74\" height=\"74\" \/><\/em><br \/>\n<i>Director of Customer Experience Jennifer Porter wears a lot of hats at times (not physically, but you know what we mean.)
