Working - Knowing That You're Being Judged At All Times

Everything about us speaks volumes to others. The way we dress, the car we drive, where we go on holiday, how we talk and walk, what we eat at lunchtime - everything about us is subject to the judgement of others.

If the judgement is positive, it will enhance our career. You can't stop people making judgements. But we can change those judgements which is about being stylish, confident, smart, well-groomed and very smooth.

Working - Enjoy What You Do

Only really successful people admit work is fun and they engrave it in their heart.Work being good means you take pride in what you do, enjoy the challenge, look forward to each day with optimism and enthusiasm.

Having a good time at work is a temporary thing.
Work being good means enjoying the negotiating, the hiring and firing, the day to day challenges, the stresses and disappointments, the un certain future, the testing of one’s mettle, the new learning curve.

If you are not enjoying, then you are doomed to be one of the moaners, life’s victims.

Working – Under promise and over deliver

Always provide later deadline and deliver early. You will never deliver late or deliver short. It is better to negotiate a longer delivery time in the first place than to have let someone down. If you do not, you will look incompetent and like pushovers at last.

Working - Be 100% Committed

You have to work a lot harder than your colleagues. It is a tall order that you have to be vigilant, dedicated, watchful , keen, ready, prepared, cautious, alert and on the ball. You need to be dedicated otherwise you will run the risk of looking foolish instead of cool and be in control.

Be powerful and always must enjoy fun.

Working – Carve out a niche for yourself

A very valuable assets and superior quality of great personal skills. Be a walking encyclopedia of knowing something; children names, everyone’s likes and dislikes, etc.

Know something others don’t., develop edge and specialist knowledge, creativity, inside-out knowledge. It has to be relevant and interesting.

Always make sure our work was done on time and supremely well.
Carving out a niche for yourself will take you out of normal range of office activities and further investment of time in something you will improve in working skills.
If the other bosses think you are a good idea then your boss really has to go along with it.

Working - Volunteer Very Carefully

Many people think if they say ‘Yes’ to everything, they will get noticed, get praised and get promoted. Not true. They will end up overworked, undervalued and abused.
Why is this person asking for volunteers?
How will this further my plan?
How will I look to senior management if I volunteer?
How will I look if I don’t volunteer?
Is this a dirty job that no one else wants?
Or is this person genuinely, desperately overburdened and really in need of my help?
Are you going to be seen as monkey?
Only step that one step forward when you are confident you will look good, gain benefit or make a difference to someone who needs help.
