If you are a beginner careerist, then from the very beginning of your career you are striving to grow in the future in a professional way. But all the people who ultimately achieved great success not only worked hard, but also followed certain rules of behavior.
10. Respect your supervisor
Each employee reports to superiors. It so happens that sometimes representatives of the management can make mistakes, be nervous, behave incorrectly, raise their voices to subordinates. If you got just such a boss - do not try to draw a monster image in your head and treat it contemptuously. If you are striving for career growth, someday you too may get the role of boss. Therefore, think in what ways your boss went to this high position, and why now he behaves just like that. Mark to yourself what he is doing right in order to use his knowledge in the future. Also learn from his mistakes, how to not. Respect the decisions of the boss and behave with him as professionally as possible.
9. Finish things through
Every day at work, we solve a certain range of tasks, set goals and go towards their achievement. If you work in an office or open your own business, sooner or later you will encounter some very serious difficulties. You may be denied a much-needed loan or your boss may criticize your idea that you have thought through or hatched for a long time. Or you yourself can lose interest and motivation in some business and just quit what you started halfway. As soon as such a difficulty arises in the case, in no case do not give up and continue gritting your teeth to try to complete the work you have begun to the end until you achieve success. The habit of throwing something halfway will never lead you to career success.
8. Do not gossip about your boss
You may not like your boss as much as you like, but always keep your thoughts to yourself. Gossiping about anyone, let alone the boss, is the lot of losers. People become gossipers because alien life seems more interesting to them than their own. Discuss with your colleagues during off-hours work the next project or funny situations from life, but in no case touch the chef. Believe me, in any team there will always be a scammer who will surely inform his superiors about what the employees say behind him. Do not lose professionalism and do not share bad thoughts with colleagues.
7. Know how to follow the instructions
Absolutely all the rich and successful people who give advice to beginners talk about self-discipline and the ability to clearly follow instructions. Following a well-thought-out plan and obeying the algorithm will allow you to work as quickly and efficiently as possible. But this does not mean at all that the instruction does not need to be analyzed before execution. If it seems to you that there is any mistake in it, then discuss it with the authorities, correct it, rewrite the instruction and follow the new directions. This skill will teach you self-organization and competent time planning.
6. Treat any job as your job
Even if you came to work with a clear understanding that this is for a while or for the sake of money, treat it with great enthusiasm. You need to work rolling up your sleeves. Any successful person will tell you that you need to be hardworking and have great love for everything that you do. Only in this case will the work bear fruit. And you yourself, having loved your work, will cease to regard it as a routine that daily takes your time and spoils your mood. If you will treat any work as your favorite craft, your every day will be spent in a positive atmosphere, you will be appreciated by managers, respected by employees.
5. If the manager made a mistake, inform him about it as delicately as possible.
Your leader is the most ordinary person who can make mistakes just like all his subordinates. If you see that the boss made a mistake, you must report it. But the question arises - how to discuss such a sensitive topic in order to avoid trouble? Even if you don’t like your boss and you have long dreamed of expressing everything that has accumulated in his face, it’s your duty to maintain professionalism in any situation. If you don’t want problems and are dreaming about increasing, formulate a claim about the boss’s mistake as competently as possible and tell him about it in a delicate way.
4. Always do more than is expected of you
Too many office workers sit in their warm places for years. They feel great and are not going to grow up the career ladder, earn more, take themselves out of their comfort zone. They do only what is written in the instructions. Such people work a minute longer than the time limit and never take the initiative themselves. If you want development in work, advancement in a career, always do more than management expects from you. For example, the boss expects you to make a presentation where you simply state the facts about the company's productivity for the last quarter. You can add some ideas on how to increase productivity at the end of the presentation. Believe me, your enthusiasm will not go unnoticed.
3. You must work no less than the leader
If you see how your boss comes to work earlier than others, and leaves later than everyone else, think about why this happens. Compare it to yourself. Do you have time to do all the work before going home? Should you also sometimes stay late at work or come half an hour early? Perhaps this would allow you to work more and be a more effective employee. Keep track of how much effort and time your boss spends on a particular task and work the same amount of time on your projects. Remember: a good boss devotes himself entirely to work. If you ever want to sit in the executive chair, start surrendering to work now.
2. Find a mentor
Any novice specialist needs a more experienced teacher who could quickly bring him up to date. If your department has a more experienced and disposable employee, ask him to give you some advice and contact him as soon as you have questions. In exchange, offer all possible assistance. A person will gladly give you part of the work, and you will gain experience and then be able to include advanced functionality in your resume. If such a person is not nearby, then the Internet will be a great helper. Free training videos, useful articles - do not be lazy to waste time on how to teach yourself on your own.
1. Take the initiative daily
Suggest new ideas every day. If you have been working at the company for several days, but have already established yourself as a good specialist, take advantage of your position and take the initiative. It seems to you that you know how to increase company profits or employee efficiency? Offer these ideas to the leader. Even if he rejects the proposals, wait a while and come to him with new plans and development strategies. Take on more functions, offer a non-standard solution to problems, even if these tasks were not set for you. Be the main ideological inspirer and initiator, become the soul of your organization, and then career growth will certainly not take long.
