How
can one take the successful leap in career? Stepping the next step in job
ladder isn’t that easy. An opportunist
should always have a mentor. Follower can become a leader in time if he not only
goes behind his boss but learns his strategic footsteps. I would like to share
few key points:
1)
Scrutinize &
understand your mentor.
2)
Decision
making-let it be small decisions gradually you will discover the ability to make
bigger decisions in career.
3)
Taking responsibilities-don’t
be scared to experiment with your skills. Learn
from others mistake & you shouldn’t feel defeated before fighting the
battle.
I have observed employees with similar
qualification, experience, work, skills & projects bringing different
results. What makes someone rise in organization while others stuck to the same
position for years? My experience says, let it be any situation OBSERVE-LISTEN
CAREFULLY-ANALYSE-THEN REACT. Never take any step in hurry or with half
knowledge, give sometime to your brain to exercise & remove the rust from
time to time.
Important qualities to become a
leader/boss/manager
1)
Empathize employee
& treat others as you want yourself to be treated.
2)
Understand your
team strengths & weaknesses before assigning task.
3)
Take time to
train effectively & let your sub-ordinates absorb the material.
4)
Authority &
responsibility goes hand in hand in higher hierarchy
5)
Lead by your
examples & follow what you say.
6)
There is never an
end to learning; we can learn both from lower & higher levels in the organization.
7)
Always remember
no degree can swap maturity & experience so act accordingly.
Last but certainly not the least
always remember, the phrase...
“A MAN LEARNS THAT HIS FATHER WAS RIGHT, WHEN
HIS SON TELLS HIM THAT HE IS WRONG.”
