Why Your Competence Is Hurting Your Career

In this episode of The Office Politics Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore the 'competency trap'—a career phenomenon where high performers get stuck doing excellent execution work because they are too reliable. We look at how being the person who always fixes the spreadsheet or leads the crisis meeting can actually block your path to promotion. Using data from recent workplace studies and a specific case study of a senior analyst who stalled for three years, we break down why visibility and strategic ambiguity are now more valuable than raw output. If you feel like you are working harder but moving slower, this is the episode for you.
