Get the work done, but do it ahead of time. Do it to become the best version of yourself, not just the best at work.
Ready for your time to shine?
Any company would be pleased to have an employee that follows instructions and completes tasks on time.
However, if you want a raise, a promotion, or to impress your boss, you must become the most productive employee in the workplace.
And how do you go about doing that? By being the office's most proactive employee.
Anticipatory, change-oriented, and self-initiated conduct are all examples of proactive behaviour. This suggests that an employee is acting in advance of a future event rather than reacting to what is thrown at them in a particular situation.
Follow these four measures to be proactive and get that promotion:
1. Get organized.
To be proactive, you must have a well-organized mindset and routine. Not only does this allow for optimal productivity, but it also improves your overall health. Review your notes on a regular basis, check over your calendar, and make an attempt to stay on top of everything at all times.
2. Act on feedback.
Feedback might be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be if you understand how critical it is to your development. Because feedback from colleagues, managers, and customers may help you determine how well you're doing, it's in your best advantage to seek it out. After you've received it, think about it and put it to use: what areas and talents do you need to improve? Which actions or habits should be abandoned?
3. Be communicative.
Knowing how and when to discuss certain topics at work pays rewards. To gain a better comprehension of instructions or goals, pay close attention to others and take notes. Speak out and say something with poise and purpose if you have feedback for others or need to settle an issue.
4. Be aware of your commitments.
Don't overstretch yourself. It's tempting to want to do everything—after all, who doesn't want to be the office's biggest star? However, if you sign up for too much, you risk becoming unorganised and missing deadlines. If you are unable to keep a commitment, be open and honest about it. If necessary, you can even negotiate for a later deadline or a smaller scope of work.
Not only will your newly proactive skill benefit your boss and the company's financial line, but you'll also experience a rise in self-confidence, job satisfaction, and happiness. You'll also be on top of things, completing tasks in an efficient, methodical, and timely manner.
