Winding
steps to a successful career? We suggest a short cut.
Here are a few tips to take you higher up the corporate ladder- articles
on stress management, managing change, workplace hassles and more.
Success at the earliest!
A band of go-getters who let nothing stand in the way. ‘Age no bar’ is the axiom, the consequence- a breed of young achievers, an age when prodigies abound! Few realize that there’s more to it and merely achieving is not enough.
What goes into the making of this elite young company?
• A vibrant personality
To
join the ranks of a manager you need to spruce up your self. A spring
in your step and a warm and friendly disposition is better than a standoffish
manner.
It is imperative for you to be calm, collected, and confident. Get people
around you to listen to you without trying to be a ‘know-it-all’.
After all, who would want to work with a sullen-faced, egoistic boor?
• Mind your language
There
wouldn’t be a beat in what you say if you fumble over your grammar
and say the wrong things at the wrong time. Chances are your subordinates
may brush aside your experience, belittle your knowledge. There’s
nothing like a great vocabulary to help you get your thoughts and ideas
across. It is noticed that people with good communication skills have
an edge over the rest!
• Originality does it!
Finding viable solutions, contributing quality ideas are sure to get you
into the good graces of important people. Build a reputation of being
original, genuine, concise and eager. Be practical, always having the
final objective in mind. While executing ideas make full use of the resources
at hand.
• Handling with care
The job of a manager will require extensive people management skills.
Getting things done in record time and not compromising on quality involves
motivating people, goading them if necessary but making sure that their
work output does not suffer because of your overbearing attitude.
• Credit where credit is due
Working in a group, not being a ‘Prima Donna’ is one of the
first lessons that one needs to learn. Learn to view things objectively
and commend good work irrespective of who did it. Be a team player, and engage in team building
efforts whenever you can. Be open to sharing your ideas with others and
don’t be closed to suggestions.
• Best among equals
Unless you excel and out-do competition, there’s no way you can
make it to the top. Make sure you get all the exposure you can now because
“it is reassuring for people to feel they have a boss, someone who
knows the answers and has charted the course” (George Cukor).
Don’t shirk responsibility, remember genius is one percent inspiration
and ninety-nine percent perspiration". Reckon with weaknesses and
compensate for them. Work towards excellence, knowing that effective managers
are a breed apart!
