Chapter 11- Personal development
So you have now matured at your work place however there is still much to learn possibly about yourself, you want to become the best possible employee as this will benefit yourself in the long run and your working life in general.
Our personal development is a topic all of us should work on throughout lifetime. It is important that we as employees mature as time goes on in order to grow as individuals. We have come up with twelve points that should help you achieve this whilst you are working.
Be on time- for all your appointments, whether it is a bigger meeting or a business lunch with a friend. It is not only common courtesy, it gives you respect and helps your business. If you tell the client the delivery will be brought at 10 a.m., make sure it will. Take breaks- breaks recharge your battery. Allow your mind to wander and you will feel less stressed. By the time you go back to work you will see you are more creative.
Learn from people around you- seek input from the group, and listen carefully to it. You will be surprised at the many new things you can learn. Don’t think you know everything already or don’t think you are smarter than everyone. Get involved- if you think you have no time to get involved in civic or charitable activities, you don't know what you are missing. Personal satisfaction is the biggest reward, but you will also make a lot of valuable contacts.
Do your homework-you will do better if you are prepared, no matter if you make a proposal to a client or if you hold a meeting. Collect the facts, think the problem through and talk to the others involved. Take the time; you will fast see it’s worth it. It's not how hard you work, it's what you get done- make sure you focus on your results. Most people work hard. The success comes from accomplished results, not from the big effort.
Learn from others’ mistakes- there is no need to experience them yourself.
Focus your energies- focus on what is important to you and do that first. It is better to do a few things well before doing many things not well. Our time and energy is limited. Work on your weaknesses first- In any position you are in, there will be things you do well, some others okay, and some you don't do so well. To improve yourself, and increase your value, work first to improve in the areas that are your weakest.
Dare to Dream- If you believe 'it can't be done' you will hardly come up with new solutions. In order to move forward you should not be looking back. Don't Limit Yourself- there are enough people trying to limit what you can do. Don't be one of them. This is what differs a leader from a manager, leaders don’t limit themselves.
Anyone can steer the ship in calm waters- don't relax just because things are going well. Use the time to plan ahead for the downturn. Your performance during tough times differs you from others in your career.
Okay now make sure that you try and understand these points, as they are great tips to grow your personality for the better, trust me!! In the next chapter we will be looking at your first review.
