Do you want to join the ranks of highly effective managers? You can start with these seven proven career boosters. 1. Increase your self-discipline If you
5、are like most people, you find it easy to do a good job when you are in high spirits. The real test comes when you are not feeling motivated or particularly energetic. Are these good enough reasons to snap at customers or behave like a nasty martyr at work? No! As a manager, like it or not, you are
6、a role model. You set the standard when it comes to personal behavior, so make sure that standard is high. A moment of impulsiveness can tear down years of hard work when it comes to your career and reputation. 2. Show consistent kindness Good managers dont throw their weight around or rely on intim
7、idation to get results. Do you? Any job especially management positions involves the support and assistance of others. You cant perform effectively as a one-man band. Thus, it is foolish to burn bridges and keep off co-workers. 3. Stretch goals What if the following words came out of an airplane lou
8、dspeaker: “Folks, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is we have lost our direction finder and one engine. The good news is we have a tail wind, so wherever were going we will get there at a rate of 600 miles an hour,“ The bad news certainly outweighs the good, right? So it is with your care
9、er. Without goals that are clear in your mind goals to which you are firmly committed your career flight plan is tragically flawed. Working at a quick pace does not amount to much if you dont have a clear vision of the end result you are striving to achieve. 4. Welcome criticism Criticism may sting,
10、 but you must embrace feedback and not avoid it. After all, how else will you know what to improve upon? Dont fool yourself into thinking other opinions dont matter. In the business world, your credibility and reputation play a key role in how far and how quickly you move ahead. Soliciting input fro
11、m others always leaves you with a clearer view of your blind spots. Becoming defensive and hostile when faced with constructive criticism will insulate you from the truth and greatly limit your potential. 5. Be a solution-finder, not a problem-identifier It takes no particular talent to find fault,
12、but many behave as though their “gift“ must be shared again and again. You may know people at work who constantly nit-pick about company decisions. These professional problem-identifiers generally get stuck mid-way up the career ladder. Choosing to criticize or blame your superiors for their decisio
13、ns shows great disloyalty and sets a lousy example for your staff. You have a duty to stand behind the powers, regardless of whether or not you agree whole-heartedly with their decisions.

14、 the habit of criticizing positively by recommending a more perfect solution. 6.

Constantly whining(发牢骚 ) and complaining depletes(耗尽 ) valuable resources
15、 of energy. Can you afford it? The same situation, when presented to positive and negative personalities will be perceived differently. An optimist looks forward to change and solves tough problems with enthusiasm. Good things seem to routinely come their way! Employees will absorb your energy if yo
16、u Show a passion for your work. In fact, many will mold themselves after you in terms of their energy level and general optimism. If you refuse to show enthusiasm, dont be surprised when you find yourself leading a lethargic(昏昏欲睡的 ), apathetic(缺乏生机的 ) team. 7. Embrace those opportunities Great oppor
17、tunities are often disguised in work clothes. Do you use weaknesses within the organization as avenues to show your skill and leadership? Are you like so many other managers, content to sit back and wait for opportunities to appear on a silver platter? You could wait forever. Instead of waiting for“
18、 them“ to take care of it, get busy, show some initiative and take a risk.
