"職場是一個叢林,你不僅需要生存,而且需要繁榮。"這不是通常的"成功學",就是九個簡單的自我完善的技巧。不管職場人有沒有野心,職業"打磨了我們的個性,改變了我們的愿望"
Success in life is always relative. Some people are happy with small achievements while there are others who won't be satisfied until mountains are moved.
Regardless of our ambitions, our career spans through a series of jobs and experiences that truly polish our personality and will. While we all have defining moments that will determine our core beliefs around hard work, persistence, determination, etc., these are all simply components of a greater foundation that defines 'you'. A rocking rise through corporate ranks involves a radical understanding and possible change in your attitude and behaviors.
There are millions of brilliant people who pursue aggressive career paths and have their sights set on great achievement. While their ability is nothing short of genius, many lack the soft skills that could put them over the top. These are the traits, qualities and understandings are what make good people great. Practical and time tested, mastering and practicing the following qualities will make if[it] difficult for success to elude you.
1.Out of Box Thinking
Many dislike this term but the concept is for real. All it requires is thinking of problems though a different set of eyes, or different dimension. This is why many brainstorming sessions fail; most people sit and think of work problems in the context of what it means to the company, not the user, not the environment, etc. Sit back and try to solve the problem from the eyes of a 6 year old, turn things upside down, and absolutely challenge the norm. Go outside and sit in a subway station (or somewhere you generally don't sit to work) and think about why other solutions not worked? What has worked?
Remember the best ideas come from people who are hands-on with their work. When everyone thinks and recommends a lackluster way, lackluster results will follow. Change your surroundings, change your views, change your thought process and come up with a killer idea!
2.Taking Ownership
When no one is willing to own it, be the first to grab the opportunity. A process involving various stakeholders normally loses vision and momentum. A process with a good leader, input from others, and true direction, has a much better chance of success. Be the person that jumps in and takes on a new project (just don't over-commit). An ability to own and work towards success is a skill which gives long lasting returns.
3.Eagerness to Learn
After a certain period, a job becomes monotonous and people become bored and eventually even lazy. They lose all the zeal to learn new things and although they won't admit this, their actions would make you believe they have thrown in the towel and are satisfied with a status quo life and career. If you really want to move ahead, don't get into this rut. Don't tune out.
Always remain eager to learn; you never know what knowledge or capability will push you up in your career. Remember, you need an open mindset and positive attitude to approach work. If you are constantly learning, it will be tough to be or appear to be interested in mediocrity.
4.An Eye for Detail
If you are hands on with your work there is no reason why you won't know the intricacies involved. Therefore, have the confidence needed to make difficult choices. When you master something and know the minute details, your logic and ideas will be highly regarded. While people love to argue, they get easily impressed by intelligent reasoning too.
5.Willingness to Help
Much of life is give and take. Work is no exception. If you are the person that is constantly stepping out of your comfort zone in order to help others, people (most) will return the favor when you ask. That's the key though, you have to be willing to help someone and not too proud to ask them for help when you need it.
6.Networking
Your network should never be restricted to people in your domain but it should span other departments too. Again, break away from comfort and get engaged with someone from a different department. When you sell yourself in the market, you need people who can vouch for you and the broader the network, the better. A strong network always gives you an upper hand, not only to receive but also influence the information flow.
7.Solution Seeking Mindset
People love to mention and talk about problems. However, when you ask for their solutions to those problems, they aren't willing to go on record with sweeping changes. The majority of employees lack an attitude to solve issues and love to keep them burning for long time, almost to encourage sympathy. It is these times that a positive mindset can send the right vibes across and can really give you a lot of attention. Don't avoid complainers, listen to them just long enough to hear the problem, then try to come up with a solution.
8.Humility
Arrogance has its own advantages but it never attracts more people than the magic done by humility. When you know your work and are humble about it than there is no reason that you would not get the desired appreciation. Humility needs to be pitched with much care lest it lets people take undue advantage of you. Strike the right balance and you would see its real magic.
9.Being Practical
Human beings are emotional and many fall for popular decisions. A practical decision made at right time with right attitude has the ability to shower you with long lasting fame. Remember, the people who are at the top are nothing but practical. It is a jungle out there where you not only need to survive but flourish too. Develop the killer attitude for success and no one would ever dare to stop you.
Always
1.Work Hard
2.Make sure the world knows about it
3.Make sure to sell it in right manner to right people
Go, Get Success
生活里,成功永遠是相對的。有人對小小的進步感到滿意,另外一些人只有移去大山才感到滿意。
不管我們的抱負是什么,我們的職業包括一系列的工作和經驗,無論如何它們打磨了我們的個性和對未來的設計。每個人都有他/她決定性的時刻,決定了我們對于艱苦工作、堅持、決心等問題的核心信仰(core beliefs),所有這些簡單的要素是構成"你整個人"的基礎。你對基本問題的理解以及態度和行為的改變,可能會關涉你在公司的職位(coporate ranks)迅速高升。
有成千上萬在職業道路上雄心勃勃的人們,他們不缺乏才能,但卻缺少"軟技能"(soft skills),使得他們不能成為一流的人物。這些軟技能是使得不錯(good)成為偉大(great)的特色、特質和理解力。下面的經驗是經過時間和實踐驗證的,采納它們會使成功難以躲避你。
1、視野(out of box thinking)
很多人討厭這個詞,但事情卻真是這樣的。視野要求人們只是從不同角度思考問題。很多頭腦風暴活動失敗的原因,大多數人坐在那里思考公司的問題,仍然是局限于公司自身,而不是公司的服務對象,也不是環境等等。想想一個六歲的孩子怎么解決問題,會顛覆你看到的現象,會給常規絕對的挑戰。到外面去,在地鐵上(或者你通常不會在那工作的地方)想想為什么其他方案不行?有哪些有用?
最好念頭來自那些著手工作的人。當所有人的想法和推薦的方法都是黯淡無趣的,那么馬上跟著發生的就是黯淡無趣的。改變你的環境,改變你的觀點,改變你想問題的過程,想到一個解決問題的法子。
2、獲得所有權(taking ownership)
沒有一個人愿意擁有的時候,第一個站出來,抓住機會搶到它。一個有數個風險投資人的計劃,很容易失去目標和動力。而一個計劃,如果有一個能與他人協力、明確指示方向的好領導,更容易成功。成為那個新計劃的所有者(但別做過分).擁有一項工作并為其成功而努力的技巧,會獲得長久的回報。
3、熱衷學習(eagerness to learn)
經過一段時間,工作會變得乏味,而人們會覺得疲倦因而懶惰。他們失去了學習新東西的熱情,雖然他們不愿意承認這一點,但他們的行為,讓你相信他們已經承認自己到了"頂峰",而且對現在的生活和工作很滿意。如果你想繼續往前走,不要重復這些老路。
一直保持學習的愿望,你永遠不知道哪些知識和能力會將你的職業推向前去。記著,你需要開放的心靈和積極的工作態度。如果你保持學習的熱情,你不會想成為或者看起來想成為平庸的人。
4、注意細節(an eye for detail)
如果你一直在做事,就沒有理由不去了解相關的復雜問題。因此,要有足夠的信心,做出困難的選擇。當你掌握一些東西并了解其中精微的細節,你的邏輯和觀點會被高度推崇。當人們喜歡爭論的時候,他們也很容易對有見識的說理留下深刻印象。
5、樂意提供幫助(willingness to help)
生活就是給與取的活動。工作也不例外。如果你經常離開自己的安樂窩,為他人提供幫助,在你需要的時候,人們會樂意為你提供幫助。關鍵是,你是樂意幫助別人,而在需要幫助的時候,放下驕傲請求別人的善意。
6、關系網絡(networking)
你的關系網絡不能只局限在自己的領域內的那些人身上,它需要延伸到其他部門。一次次地離開自己覺得非常舒適的小環境,接觸完全不同領域的人。當你在市場中推銷自己的時候,你需要擔保你的人,關系網絡越廣闊,越好。強大的關系網絡總是能給你強大的助力,不僅是在接受信息方面而且是在發出信息、影響信息流動方面。
7、解決問題的思路(Solution seeking Mindset)
人們喜歡提起和討論困難。然而,當你問他們怎么解決問題的時候,他們不愿意公開表明自己關于如何改變的觀點。大多數的雇員沒有解決問題的態度,而是讓問題"燜燒"很久,這幾乎是在鼓勵人們的憐憫。這樣的時候積極的思維總是能傳遞恰當的波動,而且可以讓你贏得眼球。不要避開抱怨者,傾聽他們直到能了解問題所在,然后努力想出一個良好的解決方案。
8、謙遜(humility)
傲慢有好處,但它不如謙遜更吸引人。當你知道自己的工作,而且以謙遜的態度對待它,你不會因此喪失應當獲得贏得贊賞。但是你需要很小心的對待謙遜,因為人們會不適當的利用你的謙遜。搞好平衡,你將看到它帶來的奇跡。
9、實際工作能力(being practical)
人是激情的動物,很多人會順從流行的觀念。一個在恰當時間以恰當方式完成的實際決定,會給你帶來長久的名聲。記住,位于頂端的人們,是實際工作能力很強的人。
職場是一個叢林,你不僅需要生存,而且需要繁榮。發展出上述鋒利的職場技能,將沒有人能夠阻止你。
記著: 1、努力工作 2、讓別人了解 3、以合適的態度,賣給合適的人做,而且成功。
