If you feel stuck and unable to move up in your career, you aren't alone. Life is unpredictable and hard. You can improve your life by finding and keeping a job that you love. Even if your life has been difficult for years, you can take control of your destiny.
Build a platform for you
While it's easy to build a platform for your business, it's not always straightforward. You have to make it useful, valuable and effective. Although this isn't difficult, it requires focus. A platform must have a clear vision and a way to communicate it.
You should understand your platform's big picture and who your target audience is. It's important to understand your audience to reach out to them and build a platform that is appropriate for their needs. A connection with venture capitalists is essential for startups entrepreneurs.
Another way to build a platform is to write a book, publish a white paper, or write a blog post. However, you should be cautious about what topics you choose to write about as they can have a negative impact on your career. A book published by you can also show leadership qualities.
Being coachable
Being a coachable in 21st-century leadership is more than simply being a good listening person. Coaching is more than being a good listener. It involves listening and responding to feedback with action. When you're coachable, you're open to feedback as a valuable tool to improve yourself and your work.
Learning new skills requires hard work. Being able to coach others means being willing to go beyond your comfort zones. You should not take feedback personally. It's about pushing yourself and striving towards greatness. It's a process that requires courage, but it's worth it.
Coaching means being 100% responsible. You should never use excuses to get the job done. After working for a company for many years, your ego may prevent you from admitting you lack of knowledge or that your process is flawed. Ego can also hinder you from seeing how the industry is changing.
Avoiding drama
Success in the workplace requires that you avoid drama. Employers will be less likely tangled up in workplace drama if they are shown respect and accountability. Employees who feel engaged are more productive and creative, and less likely to lash out in frustration. This requires total transparency and a clear understanding of the company's values and goals.
If a coworker is making you mad, try to take a deep breath. It is better to discuss your concerns in person rather than engaging in a lengthy email exchange. An angry chain of emails can escalate into a full-blown battle, and you should try to avoid becoming emotionally involved.
If you are unsure, talk to a supervisor. You might be able to resolve the situation more quickly this way. You can also seek out mediation outside of your organization.
