No. 12 dope

Guys, please I need your help on how to register my small company

Thanks.

Ok

No matter ur level of knowledge, u must answer to some persons with less than half ur skills

Basically Darwinism.

Impressive
I learned a lot

The number one item isn't always true, and I couldn't read past it. It depends on your level of professionalism and mindset - one of the things I learned from the late MKO Abiola while growing up about his rise and exploits at ITT. As a topnotch professional, with the mindset (which include the inculcation of gumption and Midas Touch), you can always make the value you give to correlate with the reward you derive in the corporate world by always working with rather than for the establishment (the partnership/gold-collar positioning), even when under its employment as a staff. The philosophy of self-conquest, self-belief, and the power of negotiation never disappoints - you'll always gain more from profit sharing or commission than salary alone.

HE SKILLS YOU NEED TO EXCEL AS AN EMPLOYEE IN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN NIGERIA

By Anayo M. Nwosu

Survival and journey to the top of Nigerian financial institutions is laden with a lot of challenges. Staff have over time devised many coping mechanisms not only to retain their jobs, manage their bosses, wade off competing colleagues but also to wangle their ways to the top of the management cadre.

Below are some of the identified methods staff have perfected to achieve their professional growth objectives:

1. COMPETENCE: This is a never failing route. The staff develops self with good eduction, requisite skills and good work attitude that makes him/her deliver on any assigned tasks.

This group of staff man the sensitive positions in Risk Management, Corporate Banking,Treasury, Financial Control, IT and Bank Operations. Financial institutions know that it's very expensive or costly to staff very sensitive areas with incompetent fellows.
This group are rewarded based on the company's need for them.

2. EYE SERVICE: This has been a time-tested tool employed by both the competent and incompetent to advance in their careers. It's all about packaging your supervisor and management of his/her impression of you as very a very excellent staff best fit for the assigned role.

The masters of eye-service would always praise their superiors to high heavens and would even scandalise other staff to gratify the ultimate boss. They are weather readers and are capable of knowing what pleases the master and effortlessly take care of your them.

A little of this eye-service method is essential in Nigeria for anybody wishing for a good appraisal by an emotional boss. You should know the boss' birthday and that of the members of his family. Daily compliment of boss' dressing is key as well as occasional arrangement of gifts.

To avoid an evaporation of achievements via eye-service, the practitioner refrains from making open negative remarks about the boss.

Most foolish bosses are deceived by eye-service. However, a competent staff with a mastery of eye-service normally makes it to the very top of the organisation.

3. AMOROUS TOOL: Many staff have secured an unfair advantage over their colleagues through application of waist power. The ignorant thinks that this group excludes males. All sexes are neck-deep in this practice.

The practising staff wilfully seduces the boss, supplying the boss with free and tantalising sex, more salacious than what the boss is used to at home and non-committal affections in exchange for promotion and job retention assurance. Some bosses are so hypnotised that they allow the favoured staff to help appraise his or her colleagues or even determine who gets what and when. Both married and single staff members are neck-deep in this practice.

Many bosses especially the males get so used to this favour that they begin to feel that it's an entitlement and as such, begin to demand it from other unwilling staff through subtle coercion. Many females' staff careers have been truncated or stagnated because they refused to comply.

Also, some guys who refused to decode subtle overtures by their female bosses have had bitter career experience to narrate. I know, because I have been a victim even with my not- so- handsome looks. My madam liked me and I didn't decode. This nearly finished my career. How wish it was now!

The potent secret of this tool is that the compromised staff would always exert an emotional concession or even manipulation of the boss, favourable postings and promotions years after stoppage of copulation even though Okafor's Law may apply.

Some staff involved have little regards for marital fidelity or ethics. Some of them regard their shameful act a self preserving and an economic duty to all that depend on the income they make while remaining in their jobs and also the incremental income that comes with promotion. The single ones view the act very key to achieve their goals after all their boyfriends or girlfriends add no more economic value to their lives.

To further ensure performance, some staff already used to this method provide this kind of service to retain their valued customers. Some customers need to be happy to channel business to a bank. It is up to the customer and the bank staff to define what is needed and provided.

4. DESCRETE INFORMANT: There are staff who feel inadequate and knowingly lack requisite skills and performance levels but have remained powerful and protected by the employers or management for reasons unknown to colleagues.

They are the bosses' informants. They update the boss of what happened behind him, who said or did what, who is sleeping with who and other unofficial background information. With the information provided, the boss appears like a talisman because he has at his disposal, valuable intelligence reports courtesy of the gossip merchant.

The staff involved choose the venue and means of passing the surreptitiously gathered information to the boss so as not to reveal his/her acts to suspecting colleagues.

5. CHARMERS: This is a group of staff with very charming personality. They have this aura that makes the bosses like them. They are not necessarily high performers but are exceptionally promoted all the time. The management see them as a must have or as poster staff of the bank. This group of staff look well-groomed, good looking, personable and likeable to bosses and customers alike.

Belonging to charmers' group is not by effort but by nature and background. A charmer who is also a star performer and understands eye-service will surely make it to top management cadre.

6. RELIGIOUS & FETISH GROUP: This group are mostly found in the back office or marketing functions. They present a personality of being of high ethical standards. They behave themselves into positions of trust.

The members of this group acquire all certificates or qualifications to position themselves for any position. Some insecure bosses fall victims to this group. They become the bosses' prayer warriors seeing visions of promotions for them. Most cash pilfering in the banks detected via CCTV has showed the devil side of these brethren.

There are others that are masters of spiritual influence. They poison fellow staff they consider threats to their ambition. These guys are senior members of satanic covens who could enlist their relations to help them deal with their enemies.

CONCLUSION
All the above-mentioned routes or tools of career advancement in Nigerian banks have their negatives but they surprisingly work for people that are masters in their usage.

But like all created things, mankind and his acts are subject to destiny and God's ultimate will. One may still fail even with the the right skill set.

The best time you will realize the truth in point number 4 is when you leave the organization.

Good points altogether.

pocohantas:
Pay very close attention to your subordinates. Sometimes do giveaway for them. This includes cleaners and even security men. They can make or mar you.

This is so true. They always have sensitive information about top officials.

Don't tell colleagues your family problems.
Office politics can be avoided if you play your cards right.

no lies here...worked my ass off for 11 years
with unblemish record no special recognition. Yet hardly anyone can beat me at work. I sometimes spend nights at work...but nobody send my papa. It's as bad as it is

~~~Never bring your family or relationship problems to the office environment.

~~~~~ keep your colleagues away from your home.If possible have your events low key and do not invite them.

~~~~~~ Do not trust anybody and this includes customers to your organisation .Your loyalty should be to yourself.

~~~~~ If there are ways to manipulate the KPIs of your organisation,do it .Even when you work your ass out meeting those KPIs most organisation do not care.

Pls people should contribute more to this thread especially those with office work.
