3 Tips To Be A Great Performer
Know For whom and why you work
The first principle of any career strategy is to be clear about who is responsible for you career. You are. Andrew Carnegie, one of the greatest entrepreneurs in the history of the world, once said: “Anyone who thinks he works for someone else is making a big mistake.”
No matter at what level in the organization you find yourself, or who owns the business or organization in which you are employed, when it boils down to it, you are always working for yourself and your family.
You work to provide the necessities of life: a roof over your head, food on the table, clothes on your back, an education for your children and medical care for those you love. You work present, but also for the future. None of us wants to be destitute or a burden to our family in our old age. These ‘need-to-have’ are our first priority.
But as well as the ‘need-to-haves,’ we also work to provide the ‘nice-to-have’ items that make our lives easier, more beautiful, more pleasant or more glamorous. There can also be an important element of generosity in what we do professionally; we can work to provide funds for charity, to help those less well-off than we are. In considering the deeper reasons for our efforts, we can also find a sense of higher purpose and accomplishment for ourselves as individuals in the jobs we currently hold.
Give You Best To Your Current Job Every Day
Sometimes it is all too easy for us to underestimate the value of our current employment. To understand just how important it is, imagine how we would feel – and what we would do – if the same awful thing that has happened to millions of hardworking people around the world happened to us. Imagine, just for a moment, what life would be like if you lost your job tomorrow.
Given this scary scenario and given the desire almost all us have to do the best we can, it is extremely import to value our jobs each and every day. This means:
· Focusing on the results you achieve.
· Maximizing the value you create.
· Contributing to a harmonious work environment
· Developing the people who work for you.
· Providing honest views on areas for improvement.
· Putting your full weight behind the achievement of goals set for yourself, your department and your organization as a whole.
Whether you are the president of the company or the newest employee in the mail room, the value you can contribute should be as great as you can possibly make it.
There are three reasons for this:
· By performing to the best of your ability you will benefit from a filling of personal fulfillment and growth you would not otherwise find.
· You will maximize the potential in your current employment – higher pay, faster promotions, more responsibility and greater recognition.
· You will increase your options and value in the job market.
INVEST IN YOURSELF
Optimizing your current job and career path does not happen randomly. Moving forward and upward in our professional lives requires hard work, a constant focus on the result we achieve, the development of new skills and taking full advantage of the opportunities presented within and from outside our current jobs.
You can invest in your job and career through attending training courses, reading at home, attending lectures, obtaining a part – time degree or certificate and through other areas of formal and informal career development. Find out from bosses, HR department and colleagues how you could benefit from training and development opportunities already existing within your organization.
