Treat your manager as a coach

A good manager’s job is to help you and the rest of your team get better results. So it would be logical that she should be invested in your career. When you do better, then by extension, she does better. 

Hence, your manager should be on your side, who wants you to succeed, and who is willing to spend a good deal of time and energy to help you do that.

You own your career

... and you have more of an ability to shape it than anybody else.

No matter how many people are on the sidelines helping you, ignoring you, or working against you, your career and your life are our responsibility. 

Don’t blame your manager, your significant other, your friends, or your company if you don’t have the career that you want.
