How Does the Average Person Get a Promotion and a Raise? These 5 Elements Should Not Be Underestimated
At work, when we face promotion and salary increase, we might as well give up the me-centered thinking: "Why not me", but spend more thinking on the people or things around us: "Why him?"
Many people have had such an experience: promotion and salary increase, full of expectations, but ultimately accompanied by a trip.
In this matter, only a few people can be smooth as expected, but obviously no mistakes in the work, colleagues are not particularly outstanding, why the promotion and salary increase always fall on their heads?
If you feel confused, you can look at the following 5 points.
01.Follow the right leader is better than following the right platform.
In the workplace, following the right leader is far more important than running alone. This one is recognized as one of the top three opportunities to change your fate.
Because Dong Yuhui followed the right Yu Minhong, he had the opportunity to get out of the circle. Yu Minhong has also risen again because of Dong Yuhui, and they have accomplished each other.
Someone once asked me privately whether it was more important to find a good company as a platform or to follow a good leader as a springboard.
The answer is self-evident, I think it is more important to follow a good leader. After all, the platform is also built by people, and even if there is a good platform, not with the right people, may not be able to get out of the circle.
Some people in the workplace ten years of hard work, depressed, while some are with the right leader, discerning, but in just a few years to get rapid development, this is the importance of following the right leader.
I remember that in a short video, I said, "Don't believe in the nonsense that gold always shines."
You should know that gold itself does not shine, only near the light source will shine! For example, has it been cast in the right mold and with the right people?
Secondly, whether the gold can shine by means of a light source, the iron needs to be hard, after all, real gold is not afraid of fire.
Once again, gold is only valuable if it circulates. As someone said, the gold can not shine, depending on your superiors to give you the opportunity to shine, do not give you the opportunity, you are a piece of ordinary stone without circulation without value.
Therefore, in the enterprise with the right leader, must be better than their own single run. If you are lucky to meet a good leader, please cherish! Work well and study well.
02.Attitude first, ability second.
Is attitude or ability important in the workplace?
In fact, there is no fixed answer, but generally speaking, large companies relatively more important to the attitude of employees, while small companies more important to the ability of employees.
When an employee enters a company, there will be such a cyclic process: "attitude - ability - attitude", and really decide whether you can work with the company is your attitude.
Similarly, we are not difficult to find, there will be such a class of people around, their own skills itself is good, but may not be able to get good development, the root cause lies in the attitude.
Because the attitude is not want to do, the ability to do. In the ability to do before, ultimately to consider do not want to. For example, some employees rely on their own ability, one hand, do not give face to the leadership, do not actively cooperate with the work.
May I ask such an attitude, if the promotion and salary increase, will really step down to do things?
Therefore, most leaders will prioritize the attitude, attitude of good employees, even if the ability to poorer, but also can be slowly cultivated; if the attitude is not good, the ability to good, may not be able to play out, the leadership may not give you a good opportunity.
03.When the responsibility, better than the ability.
Courage to take responsibility, dare to be responsible, you will be able to take the opportunity to firmly grasp in their own hands.
Years ago, I have a planning department trainees, in the team she was a transparent small role, it happens to be other positions of a colleague left, the leadership of that colleague's matters to let her temporary part-time processing, and then find another suitable replacement.
To this, she did not complain, on the contrary, the performance is quite positive, although he took on a little more, but for this can learn new things. After a period of time, she gradually got the hang of it, so she took the initiative to find the leader and proposed to merge the responsibilities together. Her careful and responsible, more than once completed more outstanding, the leadership also see in the eyes. Half a year later, she became an example template and successfully gained a promotion opportunity.
In the workplace, people often have a kind of inertia thinking, when the superiors give you more arrangements for some of the tasks, many people hate to collectively crusade: "Why? A few thousand dollars of salary in January, let me wear several jobs."
But when you know that the promotion and salary increase is not their own, this time and jumped back: "My qualifications than her old, dry and quite a lot, why not me?"
"Want to wear the crown, must bear its weight", just when you complain about injustice, you really have thought about how much people secretly pay than you? When you want to develop further, you must bear more responsibility and pressure, if willing to lie flat, then what can complain?
Everyone knows, Wang Baoqiang qualification is general, but towards the peak of life, some people say that his luck is good, get a lot of people to help, but, why these so-called noble people are willing to help Wang Baoqiang? Undoubtedly, Wang Baoqiang's seriousness, responsibility and sincerity every time have deeply touched the people around him.
04.8 hours of spare time is better than 8 hours on duty.
I mentioned earlier with a good leader is more important, does not mean that meet a good leader you can obediently lie flat, effortless promotion and salary increase, flat step.
In the workplace, good leadership is relative, why should you be good to you? Why do you want to appreciate you? Why give you the opportunity to try? These good are built on the basis of your daily work performance. To put it bluntly, you can't, none of the leaders like, you are excellent, who are good leaders.
In the work, not only to do their own work, but also timely exceed the leadership of your expectations, so that he feels that you are a moldable talent. Here we are required to not just dwell on the 8 hours at work every day, because in those 8 hours, you are saturated enough with the work at hand.
This is when you need to sacrifice another 8 hours of your life to enhance your professional skills. The skills here are not only your professional abilities, but also management, communication, organization, coordination, etc.
There is a famous Harvard law that says the biggest difference between people is what they are doing between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. If this point of time is spent on personal learning and improving your work skills, the result is going to be different.
In short, you have to find a way to make the leader willing to go through the time and effort to tap into the more unexpected side of you.
05.Work must have feedback to reassure the leader.
In the workplace to fight, regardless of the effectiveness of the work, you must do timely reporting and ask for instructions, which is an employee's natural duty.
Because the leader gave things to you, out of his own vision control, there is no way to know to what extent, and he personally do is completely different.
Your timely feedback, to ensure that the work of the pieces have fallen, everything has a reply, can let the leadership peace of mind. At the same time, the leader can also understand the situation at any time and place, to facilitate better instructions, so that the leader more assured.
In the workplace, since we can sit together, it means that the gap between coworkers is not big, just a little bit. But this is a little bit, leading to the development of colleagues between the oversized gap, after all, who do not want to arrange the work to let them feel at ease, at ease to do it.
I often say, a subordinate to do a thing, if the effect can only be 8 points, but his timely feedback, as usual, can be given to 10 points, because the other 2 points can be made up and improved through timely feedback; if another subordinate even if you can get 10 points, but not timely feedback, can only be given to 8 points, because he affects the leadership of the work arrangements.
Write in the end:
To sum up, in the work, when we face the promotion and salary increase, we may as well give up the thinking centered on me: "Why not me", but spend more thinking on the people or things around us: "Why is it him?"
Opportunity is always left to those who are prepared, but the key lies in, when the opportunity arises, whether we really do enough to meet it ready?
The industry is getting more and more volume, the enterprise to make money more and more difficult to earn wages this thing, the same is also to struggle, after all, the world has no free lunch.
