Do you want to achieve greater success in your career? Do you question some of the tasks you take on and do they really help you get by? Do you see other people and wonder what they are doing to move up the corporate ladder that maybe you should be doing?
Truly successful people are always studying others to understand what behaviors, personality traits, etc. they have. By doing this, it enables them to determine why some people are being considered for higher positions and / or more lucrative and visible projects while others are not. This is critical because many people may have the same skill set, but what sets them apart is how they deal with things like handling challenges, developing solutions, engaging others, and creating and implementing strategies. It is also imperative to understand which tasks they are personally responsible for and which they delegate; This is not to be lazy, but successful people want others to advance their own careers and achieve professional happiness as well.
It is also helpful to read biographies of people like Bill Gates, Indra Nooyi, and Mary Barra. Many successful people come from humble backgrounds and, although they took different paths in their careers, they were always open to learning and growing. These stories may be similar to yours, but even if not, they offer valuable information about how and why they took certain risks, etc. that got them to where they are today. Their trials and tribulations show that it is not just hard work that they had to do, but also how they developed their confidence and remained resilient, especially when they found themselves in a difficult situation.
It is also important to observe how successful people handle failure. We all fail at something at some point in our careers (it could even be many times), but the way successful people react is often different from the masses. It is not just about what they say, but also how they act and what their attitude is about their future. They may admit defeat, but then they will quickly find out what went wrong and create a new course of action. They will also actively seek feedback from others to gain new ideas and perspectives, as well as to determine what blind spots they may have and how to overcome them in the future.
Lastly, successful people don’t work all the time. They recognize that self-care is necessary in order to climb the next mountain. In other words, they know when to take a break and when to move on to finish a project before the deadline. They also recognize that you need to have a good support system. Many biographies not only chronicle the professional lives of these people, but also detail how they live exceptional personal lives. As you spend some time learning from successful people, you may find that your own career journey needs to take a turn in order to give you greater satisfaction.
