Managers sometimes look at the millennials in their workplace with skepticism and suspicion. If you’re a millennial just starting out in your career, practice these habits to gain your managers’ trust:
- Develop some self-knowledge. Understand your strengths and weaknesses, along with your beliefs and values. This will help you make good decisions about where you want to go in your career.
- Learn how to cope. Work can be stressful. If you want to succeed, you’ll have to find ways to manage your emotions so they don’t take control of you. Learn some stress management techniques like deep breathing, meditation, and regular exercise.
- Build strong relationships. Be friendly with your co-workers and bosses, and reach out to people in your industry so you have a network you can depend on. Seek out diverse minds—people with different backgrounds and different ways of looking at things.
- Become resilient. Train yourself to move out of your comfort zone so challenges and crises don’t derail you. Learn to accept failure and move on, showing you’re capable of learning from mistakes and taking responsibility for your actions.
- Keep a sense of proportion. Don’t let work dominate your life. Spend time with family and friends so you see that life is full of things with value outside the workplace.
