First Promote Yourself - Why it is important?


Now-a-days promoting ourselves is very important.  In corporate companies, the person should make the management to notice him/her.   Let us assume 500 employees working in a rapidly growing organization.   All the 500 employees want career growth, promotion etc.  My question is when the management will notice an employee, there are 2 cases:

(1) Trouble Maker and 

(2) Top Performer

Leave the 1st case normally management won’t keep these people with the organization (Fired).  I will strongly suggest the people to follow 2nd case; it is the powerful concept to make the management notice a person.   But only with performance person cannot gain popularity, he/she should show some other activities also.   Here are some tips:
 
Work that gives popularity:
  • Be a ‘Top Performer ‘in your team.
  • Always think positive.
  • Don’t under estimate yourself.
  • Don’t stuck up with failures; “Failure is the stepping stone for your success”.
  • Analyze the reason for failure, rectify the mistakes.
  • Always aim for 120 to 150 % of productivity.
  • Should give tough competition to your colleagues [Healthy Competition].
  • Try to be a trust-able person for the management.
  • Learn management tactics.
  • Analysis team’s weak area, you should focus on that area.  [Your performance will increase at the same time your team's weakness will also be reduced].
E.g.: Assume there are 10 members working as a team, you are one among them.  Including you no one is getting ‘Quality Score’, if you understand the situation and concentrate on quality means definitely you will get quality score on the forthcoming month.  So I am damn sure, management will notice you.

Other Activities that gives popularity: 
  • Active Participation in all events.
  • Seminars in Companies.
  • Apart from work, give some role as volunteer for social welfare program conducted by company.
  • Maintain good dress code.
  • Decent speech inside office.
  • Be self motivator.
  • Have a helping tendency.
  • Avoid office gossips.
Folks, above said points are learned from my experience.  I hope it will be useful for you too.  If you get popularity, you will be moved to the next level.   Please ignore if there is any mistake.
