Career ... By all the truths and crooks we achieve success. Of course, it is possible for the university to "get married successfully," but this will not be a sufficient guarantee of survival. Therefore, an increasing number of women understand: only professional development and professional careers will save them from a despotic husband and money problems.
After all, in fact, only knowledge - that baggage, which is not heavy, and always useful. So, the profession of mother should not be the only one. And already the career itself can be unhurried and rapid ...
Survival in the modern world, unlike antiquity - the question of how much other people need you. And to make this process as enjoyable as possible - it is enough to possess not only a popular, but also a pleasant profession. Take on an interesting job and at the same time get money for existence and small pleasures, raise children and at the same time grow by yourself - what could be better for a woman?
Glass ceiling
Alas, in most cases it is not the "ghouls" who stop the ambitious woman on the path of professional development and professional careers, but the workers themselves. Often enough little pressure on them or a hint that she has achieved this position is "known as." Envious people are always, except when there is nothing to envy. Therefore, do not focus on those who are below - at the top are still full of unoccupied or busy unprofessional steps.
Severe selection, which is subjected to women not only HR, but also colleagues themselves - their jokes and podkolkami - this is exactly the "sieve", through which it is worth to pass a woman. When planning professional development and professional career, it is worthwhile to learn how to adequately respond to colleagues-envious persons, and chiefs of all stripes. After all, the extent to which a professional woman can defend her point of view often depends on her career.
A man invents - a woman fulfills
Women are considered excellent performers of ready-made orders. They are ready for monotonous work, performing everyday tasks. And men are waiting for "from the sky of the stars". And if a woman has a certain profession, higher or secondary special education - then within a certain sphere it will be easier for her to improve. So, professional development and professional career - in her hands!
But as soon as from the super-mega-doctor or engineer-ventilator the woman tries to "break through" to the leading positions - here and comes into action a huge, archaic and creaking through thoroughly rusted details mechanism. Woman = kirche, kyuhe, kinder. Man = achievements, inventions, career, money-power. But professional development and professional career should not be limited to a single area! Yes, and the salary of the head of the department is higher than that of a therapist or a nurse from the laboratory.
Stereotypes of Thinking
The tops of a career for a woman are prevented from reaching stereotypes and actually by those who think them. Like, career, management - all this is not a woman's business. They are especially reluctant to let women into those areas where the distribution of finances and management is going on.
And yet stereotypes are not only in the minds of those who decide on the place of work of women. The workers themselves also often limit themselves. Therefore, it makes sense to read Forbes more often and look for names of female billionaires (a joke :)
What are they - women at the top of a career?
In fact, female leaders, women admitted to the holy of holies - finance and management - share the same traits. Let's try to figure out what they are - women who "attempted" the most masculine thing that only exists in this world - power, administration and money.
So, there are men who look like women in appearance, but there are also women who are internally similar to men.
They are characterized by:
- Discipline, inner confidence, readiness to defend one's convictions and rightness
- Responsibility not only for own decisions or execution, but also for the entire chain, which the project is undergoing
- Interest in your industry, ability and desire to improve
- Activity and dynamism, the desire not to sit on a "warm place", but to achieve, do something new
- Willingness to devote a lot of time to your work, not to evade solving problems, but to take on their own decisions, initiative.
Path to the tops: features
Of course, in the industry where such a woman works, there are often different features. It can be considered that a woman is unsuitable for leadership. Or it can not be a good programmer - and for many decades a woman has a hard lot for her - stagnation in a low position.
But it also happens that other emancipated ladies interfere and oppose career growth. For example, I know a case where a woman aspired to the top of a scientific career, but she was built all sorts of obstacles already there ... women! Like, in our republic there are already three doctors of science - and the fourth woman we will not tolerate! But on the whole this amounts to a general competition and struggle for a "place under the sun".
Therefore, it is difficult to estimate in advance what features of work the woman expects as she moves to the top of Olympus. But if it is collected, it keeps a clear record of what has been done, develops, does not close in its "shell" (which I can do, but further - no-no!) - then sooner or later career growth will happen. And what's more, managers are very wary of those who pretend to have a salary and position well below their merits - experience, skills, education.
You can - quickly, you can - not hurrying. The main thing is to act!
At one time I liked the phrase: "Every uplift of the ass from the couch is fraught with the receipt of money." The same applies to a career. And if you still do not quite understand where the path of career and professional growth leads you, it makes sense to just be active and interested in your work - for small success it is enough. And then life will tell you how to plan your professional growth.
