TIPS! Qualification gets you the interview. Yet it' s your skill in managing people' s expectation that get you your position. Performance
- Expectations
The difference between two individuals is not necessarily their academic qualification – but their skills in managing the expectations of their superior.
Remember: your attention to detail makes you necessary to the one you seek to please. The key to managing people is the management of their expectations. Yet expectations are not always verbally communicated – but observed. It requires discerning on your part. You need to pay attention to the job skill that your superior deems is important – and exhibit that at work. You also need to pay attention to those inner qualities that your superior has, and it may be as simple as tidiness at work – and bring it to a higher level.- Consistency
Those who continually stay at the top all have one thing in common – their willingness and their grit to stay consistent – with their efforts, contribution, and motivation to keep doing the things they know are important.
If you do not learn to motivate yourself to stay at the top, no one will. TIPS Consistency is one of the crucial elements that determine your promotion. To stay at the top, your motivation must be up-kept by you and you alone. Performance- Know Your Strength and Weakness
We have seen this pervasive phenomenon – where performance reviews magnify areas of weakness.
But those at the top know that they were promoted in the arena of their strengths – where they have no competition. Organisations grow when people perform at their best. You will shine the brightest when you solve problems in the arena of your strength. Because then, you will have no competition. TIPS Know your strengths and weaknesses, and work to your strengths.- Emulate the Very Best and Challenge Higher Goals.
Getting your promotion is not tough – when you have a role model to benchmark against. Commit today to find a role model to emulate – in their attitude, work habits, mindset and their willingness to pursue excellence.
- Set SMARTER goals – in the short term and long term.
They must contain the elements of being (S)pecific, (M)easurable, (A)ttainable, (R)ealistic, ( T)ime Bound, (E)valuate and (R)e-evaluate. Always remember to create little milestones for yourself – to manage your improvement – and reward yourself at every step. Because the journey is so much easier when you keep rewarding yourself in little ways.
TIPS Identify a role model at the workplace you will like to emulate – in character, in job skills, and in their attitude at work. Create milestones for yourself to achieve – and reward yourself at every milestone to spur yourself on. Performance- Be Proactive and Do More than What you are Paid For.
Do more than what you are paid for. Solve the problems that your superior didn't expect you to solve. Take ownership for your work, as though you own the business.
When the attitude of proactive-ness invades all areas of your life – you shift yourself to the next season of personal growth and promotion. Elim Chew , a successful entrepreneur, who founded the mega retail outlet (77th Street) illustrates this. When she first worked as a hairstylist being paid a $1000 salary, she committed to excelling in that position by offering a $2000 worth of service. It is no surprise that in a short time, her salary was then raised to $2000 – a 100% increase! TIPS Being proactive means – you think and act with the brain and commitment of the boss. Do more than you are required – to qualify for your next promotion. Experience- Seize Every Opportunity and Platform to Learn.
As the adage says, "If you are not growing, you are dying". The world is continually progressing. By staying status quo – you will be phased out and be outdated. The first step to growth is to ask ourselves questions that get us thinking, "What are the consequences of not changing and remaining the same?" If we allow our ego to deter the learning process, we will suffer for our foolishness.
If you are required to improve your public speaking skills, join a Toast Masters public speaking club. If you need to acquire business language, you can begin by watching the daily evening news. Learning can begin in simple ways. TIPS Always look out for opportunities to learn, if there isn't any, create one for yourself. Experience- Dare to Fail
Thomas Edison failed over 9000 times before finding the right strategy for creating the light bulb. Walt Disney, the creator of Mickey Mouse, was rejected 302 times before he got financing for creating the now world famous theme park. Continue to see failure as feedback. And learning will not be fearful.
- Do Not Take Short Cuts
Don't pursue the easy way. Because success is hard work. Real hard work. Those who continually pursue convenience in what they do at the workplace may be surprised to know – by the time they reach the top – the journey is paved with long hours of study, diligence and commitment.
TIPS You need to have the courage to make mistakes – which will produce the ability to improve. Never, never take short cut in whatever you do. Because if you do; life always have a way of paying you back. X-Factors Those are traits, and attributes you must develop – to have you stand out from the rest.- Entrepreneur Mindset
Being an entrepreneur requires you to be accountable for your actions. It requires you to be selfless – and think in the interest of your team, and your company. This sense of selfless – makes you attractive.
If you are a sales person, you may compromise your integrity for the closing of the sale. But there will be dire consequences you hav e to bear . Y et if you were to be running your sales position as your own business entity – you will take care to uphold the company. Take care to work at your job – as though you were running your own organisation. In no time, your superior will discern that spirit of excellence and recommend you for promotion.- Leadership
In managing an organisation, there are 5 leadership attributes that must be nurtured.
- Integrity: willingness to do what is right when no one is watching
- Leading by example: walking your talk
- Impartiality: being consistent with everyone in your expectations
- Transparency: being authentic and speaking the truth
- Assertiveness: willingness to make the right decision, though it may not be popular.
TIPS Be careful of sacrificing integrity for the sake of monetary gains, for the sake of acceptance. Integrity is more important then gaining popularity votes. X-Factor
