Today is the last day of my current job role. Like I mentioned in my previous post I am currently in the interdepartmental transition phase. While thinking about the last 2 years spend rather invested in this department (and under the supervision of my current Manager and with my current team :) ) , what I have learned and how did I groom myself; there are few things that are now on my finger tips as a professional and I would be more than happy to share these with the people who want to learn from others' experiences. Here we go;
Be Patient and Consistent:
The very first lesson I learned was to show patience and consistency in your job. Never get into hurry or loose hope on something. Give your best , and consistently give the best. One day you will surely get the desired results. If you do one task and you deliver the best results, don't stop there, keep the consistency level high. Celebrate your success, but the next day start working on the upcoming targets. Consistently & Patiently !!
Face the Challenges, Commit Less and Deliver More:
In order to be dynamic and to keep growing you have to confront all the challenges thrown on you by your management. Don't get choked or collapsed because of the challenges. For that, always strategize your way well before time and give your best. There is no task in this world that can't be done (Of course I am not suggesting you to do everything even if it doesn't fall in your domain or job role). Your Manager will surely not give you a task that is not part of your domain (& if he is doing so, then you surely need to have a cup of tea with him :-) ). Never get hesitated in accepting the challenges. But one good idea to adopt is to commit less and deliver more. Whenever your manager throw a challenge to you, tell him your limitations and forecast the results too, but never over commit rather commit less than what you believe you can do. Always plan what can you do?How much can you do? & most importantly, How will you do? On the basis of your analysis, share your commitment humbly. Then give your best to over achieve (apparently you're over achieving what you have committed to your Manager, in real, you are just achieving what you have committed to yourself ;) )
Go an Extra Mile:
There is no shame in going an extra mile to deliver. This way you will learn things quickly, you will get more experience and you will be able to uncover the opportunities that might not be available to you otherwise.
Learn - whatever you do:
One important key to remember, don't do a task/project for the sake of completing it rather, do it with an open mind. Keep an eye on every thing you do to complete it, what other options you have for it if you have to repeat the task again? How can you make it more productive and quick. Even if you face a failure, LEARN from your mistakes. This is what I have actually done. I faced the challenge, I made a mistake, I learned from my mistake and the next time? Bang on! I did the task in a much better way than before. So, the essence is to keep learning with whatever you are going through, a failure or a triumph! learn from your experience as well as from others' experiences.
Keep an achievement quota on daily basis:
To keep yourself motivated, achieve something on daily basis. Make your own KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for everyday. I started my career in this department as a telesales person, from the day I started cold calls, I kept on making a list of daily achievements - initially it was ; 3 leads per day - this way I always have an extra energy and enthusiasm to achieve my daily KPI and in the end of the day, I always left for home with the sense of great achievement for a day. Then I implemented the same idea for Months, Quarters and Year too. Everybody loves to achieve, so why not achieve on daily basis :-). Important thing to remember here, is to keep realistic and competitive targets for yourself.
Network, Network and Network:
Networking is the buzzword today. If you are networking and you carry a strong network with you then trust me, you are going very well in your life. Whenever you start a new job, connect with your future colleagues on LinkedIn, talk to them and extract the intel. You must know who is who in your organization and most importantly, majority of your colleagues should know who are you and what do you do in the organization. It really helps. It helps in achieving your targets because there is nothing in this professional world that you will do on your own, in the isolation. So Network!
Adhere to the Policies:
At last but not the least, you will never be in a situation of guilt if you adhere yourself to your company's policies. Day to day discipline, policies related to dealing with clients/vendors, or any other thing. If you are within the policies, nobody can point a finger at you. So, stay on the right side, stay safe and stick to the policies.
That's all for today :-) !
