Emphasize the virtues
Many are able to talk for hours about work, but they can not even associate two words when it comes to personal achievements. Proper self-positioning is the key to a successful career. Remember the acronym "PDR" and use it, discussing with your superiors your work. Start with Overcoming - "we worked in difficult conditions", go to the action - "I used the following techniques" and finish with the result - "thanks to this, the profit increased by 20%".
Criticize correctly
Constructive criticism - the transition to a new level of relationships - the main component of the tactic of achieving a successful career, but the destructive one generates an internal opposition to the person from which it comes. We advise you to use the rule 1x1 - every criticism should be diluted with reassuring.
Express thoughts thoughtfully
Psychologists are sure that people judge the reliability of the interlocutor, 90% based on his appearance and manner of communication. Try not to abuse the words "maybe", "probably", "most likely" - they deprive speech of persuasiveness. And also learn to mentally count up to three before answering the difficult question of your superiors: so you will seem more reasonable and can hold your attention for a short time.
Speak spectacularly
Meetings are your chance to prove yourself. Try to take your place next to the most important person in the company - this will give you confidence in your own abilities. Be among the first three people who will speak at the meeting. Those who begin to speak early are perceived by others as bold and ambitious employees with leadership potential.
Discuss with the manager the prospects of your career growth in the company, pre-prepared for the conversation. In order to understand the tactics of achieving a successful career, first analyze the differences between your responsibilities and those that perform in higher positions. Do you have any experience that would help you cope with new responsibilities? Try to be honest with yourself, because there are at least two reasons why you are not promoted. The first is that you are really a very valuable employee, who, in addition to his immediate duties, is also involved in a whole range of other tasks, and replacing you is more problematic than finding someone for a higher position. If the situation is really that, look for a new job. The second reason is that you are an excellent specialist, but you do not possess managerial skills (as, incidentally, 85% of employees). Then your path is not a vertical career, but a horizontal one, that is, professional growth, which, of course, must be accompanied by an increase in salaries, bonuses, social package. But this is a slightly different conversation with the leader - the argument should be based on the growth of the quality of your work, the complexity of the tasks you solve.
A successful career also often depends on the behavior of the employee at work, on his ambitiousness and mindset. After all, not all employees have a good character, so maybe this is the reason why the bosses do not want to raise you to a new professional level? The first rule is worth remembering forever: the boss will never set an example, and even more so to raise the employee, who is constantly "hung" on his neck. These are people who not only try to always please the authorities during the working hours, but also those people who continue to behave in this way after the expiration of their working hours.
