Despite the fact that earlier the woman was assigned only the role of the keeper of the hearth, today they have proved that they are no worse than men coping with a completely female matter - they fly into space, rule the country, develop engineering projects for large buildings, finance and invest, participate in military affairs . However, not all women can succeed, what are their mistakes? How is it better to work for a woman to become successful? This we will discuss in this article.
In search of work, women choose a different tactic than men, making their own specific women's mistakes. A woman almost always tries to look for work on her own, rarely resorting to the help of former colleagues, friends and relatives. Men, unlike women, will connect all their former classmates and friends to their question and find work faster. Looking for work, women underestimate their self-esteem, skills, abilities, and, encountering difficulties, begin to wind themselves "I can not, I can not manage", while men are more arrogant and self-confident, learn on the go and in most cases seek success. Women are more passive and less initiative - they rarely call potential employers, do not post their resumes on job sites. Despite the fact that women have long established themselves as successful workers, most employers prefer to see a man for a free position of a superior. Of course, this is due to the traditional conservatism, as well as the belief that a woman will never be able to become a leader, and if she does, she will become a leader-bitch.
But most often moving along the career ladder, women make mistakes themselves:
- one of the most negative consequences at work, is the manifestation of sexuality and flirting. If you are aiming for high career growth and success, it is better to bet in favor of your intellectual abilities.
- Unselfishness and selflessness are certainly excellent human qualities, but when your unselfishness and patience begin to be openly abused, a woman gets angry, but patiently continues to work for the benefit of her company. Learn to respect yourself and appreciate your work.
- Fear of taking responsibility. A woman leader always takes great responsibility for her team. Of course, you can not go so far and take responsibility only for your work and responsibilities, then the prospects for the development of a successful career will be less.
- the desire to please everyone - the wrong tactics of building a successful career, which sooner or later will end in disappointments, both in themselves and in the team. Remember that it's impossible to please everyone, there will always be dissatisfied people. And a few tips on how to work better for women to achieve maximum results. Everyone can become a successful careerist. First of all, learn how to organize your day. Rationally distribute your time and business, do not forget about important meetings and even small assignments. Get a diary or an organizer to always remember the most important things. A successful woman will never allow a delay not only for an important meeting with business partners, but also for the workplace.
Punctuality is always a reflection of your responsibility, and a responsible woman can always be entrusted with important matters, which gives a chance for successful growth of our career. The most important point of any woman is her appearance. The saying "meet on clothes, escorted - according to the mind", has not lost its relevance and still works to this day. It is impossible to become a successful department head or co-owner of a restaurant chain without the style of a business woman. Forget what an untidy look, get rid of elongated gray jackets, fashionable jeans and an ultra-short mini. Now your work dress code should consist of stylish suits, elegant dresses that do not cause blouses and skirts of "safe" length. Additional accessories in the form of expensive shoes, a stylish handbag and a pair of elegant ornaments will complete your image of a confident woman.
Remember your colleagues . Colleagues are people of your link with whom you are going to success, both your personal and the success of your company. However, do not translate relations with colleagues abroad business, remember that weakness and trust are more powerful weapons that your ill-wishers can use for mercenary purposes. Know how to understand people, to feel their weaknesses and strengths.
Knowledge is power , especially in terms of career. You must know everything in your field, than any other employees. And only then you will be able to turn your skills and knowledge into money, build your clientele network and create a successful demand market. Do not stop there, constantly study new literature, attend seminars and trainings, improve yourself in your specialization. Be proactive. Do not hide your goals and ambitions. If your company has a position for which you want to apply, talk about it with your boss. Do not be shy and silent, wait for someone to invite you, and will ask you to take up a new post. The path to your career needs to be done by yourself. Take criticism.
Even the most successful and successful business ladies are not immune from criticism. Therefore, if you are planning to achieve high achievements in your career, be ready to meet and accept criticism addressed to you. Learn to distinguish constructive criticism from attacks. Criticism from more professional specialists is relevant and one should listen to it. But attacks and rancor, do not take to heart, most often these are disguised compliments from envious colleagues. And the last one should not regularly sum up its successes and failures. Professional success and success are not limited to one high goal - building a successful career. It is much more interesting to achieve the goals and goals set, feel confident and successful woman. Good luck!
