Excelling at your job calls for more than just showing up on time and doing what your boss tells you. If you want to build a reputation as someone your organization can depend on, put these essential tactics to work:
• Go beyond the bare minimum. Find out your organization’s goals and devote yourself to supporting them with hard work and continuous development.
• Act like a professional. No matter what your job is—janitor, CEO, or any position in between—take it seriously and do your best to succeed. Treat everyone with respect, whatever his or her job title. Put your organization’s goals at the top of your list. Being seen as a professional is a sure route to responsibility and advancement.
• Show some initiative. Don’t wait for the boss to tell you to do something. If you see a problem, fix it or at least tell your manager what you’re planning to do. Suggest ideas for improvement and volunteer for committees and task forces that will help your organization grow.
• Get to know your manager. Find out what your boss’s goals are. Talk about how you can help him or her achieve objectives. Pay attention to his or her management style so you can work together without effort.
• Accept feedback respectfully. When a manager or co-worker criticizes your performance, take the feedback as a sign that he or she wants to help you improve. Don’t get mad and don’t ignore what you don’t want to hear. Accepting criticism gracefully shows that you’re committed to improvement and that you want to learn how to do your job better.
