6 Secrets To Success At Work by Patdedon(m): 8:40am On Apr 30, 2015 |
Six Secrets to Success at Work Apr 29, 2015 By Jack and Suzy Welch How many people do you know who are truly happy at work? Are you one of them? We recently surveyed American professionals throughout the nation and learned that nearly a third feel trapped in their careers and passed over for promotions. Don’t count yourself among them. If you’re feeling stuck, here are six operating principles that can put you on the path to a stronger career trajectory — and, we hope, to the kind of success known as happiness. 1. Find Where Your Passion and Skills Intersect We have a concept called Area of Destiny, which is the very rich territory at the intersection of what you are uniquely good at and what you love to do. That’s where you should be building your profession. 2. Make Your Boss Smarter No matter where you are in your career, one thing never changes. Every day, it’s your flat-out responsibility to make your boss look good. You have to make him or her smarter — about your industry, your customers, your competitors, your products, and technology — all the time. 3. Know When to Leave a Bad Boss Great bosses are generous bosses. If you feel your boss doesn’t in some way have your best interest in mind and want you to grow, you’ve got to have the confidence to move out. 4. Give Yourself a Deadline Don’t let work feel like a grind. If you're unhappy — or you just aren’t all-in — you have to put a time-frame on how much you are going to put up with before making a change. 5. Don’t Fear Failure The thing about failing — because you will fail if you take risks — is that you realize you don’t die. You just pick yourself up and keep going — and how fast you get back on the horse says a lot about you. 6. Never Stop Reinventing Yourself Who wants to just “retire”? Banish that word from your vocabulary. You’ve got to constantly reinvent and take a chance on something you’ve always wanted to do — it’s what keeps you alive. You’re never done. |
