Myšlení je projevem intelektuální poctivosti, je přesvědčený Martin Poliačik, odborník na komunikaci a kritické myšlení a také bývalý politik. „Klíčová je vnitřní motivace, díky které můžeme věci kolem nás zpochybňovat a přemýšlet o nich,“ říká pro Český rozhlas Plus.

First, check if there is a position available within the organization for you to move into. If there is no suitable role, then pursuing a promotion this year may not be feasible. Second, reflect on whether the job you would be promoted to is one that you genuinely desire.

When You Are Asked to Meet Impossible Goals
on hbr.org
When change is a constant, employees are now experiencing five times more planned change initiatives than they did just a decade ago. Add unrealistic goals, and the result is predictable: disengagement, burnout, and a sharp decline in execution—in short, widespread change fatigue. Leaders who take on impossible goals don’t do it because they lack judgment—they do it because pushing back feels risky to them. The real leadership skill is not figuring out how to do it all; it’s knowing when and how to push back. That’s where strategic refusal comes in. Strategic refusal is a structured method to force prioritization and push back on unrealistic demands that jeopardize team productivity, morale, or well-being. The idea isn’t to avoid responsibility, but rather to protect the team, maintain long-term performance, and ensure sustainable outcomes—all while safeguarding your reputation.
