On Being A Star At Work

Robert E．Kelly，a consultant for major corporations and a professor at Carnegie Mellon University，has written a book entitled How To Be a Star at Work，in which he teaches readers how to improve their day－to－day behavior at work by using nine breakthrough strategies：

１．Initiative¹⁾ It's not about finding little ways to do your job better，or volunteering to do little extras like planning the annual picnic．Star performers know that real initiative means going beyond your regular work to come up with new ideas that really help the company's bottom line．

２.Networking Average performers think it means socializing with the boss in hopes of getting a promotion．Star performers know it's really about building good relationships with the knowledge gurus²⁾who can help you get your work done faster and better．

３．Self－management Don't get hung up on whether your desk is clean or cluttered³⁾－－that has nothing to do with success．The key is whether you are sticking to the“critical path”when you organize your time，work space，and goals．

４．Perspective⁴⁾ Average workers see everything from their own point of view，but stars learn to consider the perspectives of their colleagues，bosses，customers，and competitors．

５．Followership You don't have to be a spineless⁵⁾ yes－person to be a good follower．There are smart ways to influence what happens while still checking your ego at the door．

６．Leadership Don' t get blinded by the cult－hero worship of“Big L ”leaders；instead，learn the secrets of influencing people through“Small L”leader ship．

７．Teamwork Everyone talks about teams，but stars know how to avoid the pitfalls that often derail them．

８．Organizational Savvy⁶⁾ “Office politics”has got a bad name．Stars know that developing“credibility”with the right people can help them address conflicts and promote co－operation．

９．Show－and－Tell People judge you by what you say and do during meetings and presentations．Stars always know their audience and shape their message accordingly⁷⁾．

助你成為工作明星的良方

羅伯特·凱利是卡耐基-梅隆大學(xué)的教授，也是多家大公司的顧問(wèn)。他撰寫(xiě)了一部書(shū)，名為《如何成為工作明星》。在書(shū)中他點(diǎn)撥讀者：使用９大突破性戰(zhàn)術(shù)可以改善他們的日常行為而成為工作中的明星。

１．首創(chuàng)精神 這不是去發(fā)現(xiàn)微不足道的方法把你的工作做得更好，或者主動(dòng)請(qǐng)求去做一些額外的工作，如計(jì)劃一年一度的外出野餐活動(dòng)。明星工作者懂得真正的首創(chuàng)精神意味著超越常規(guī)工作，想出新點(diǎn)子，真正有助于公司的基本方針。

２．人際關(guān)系網(wǎng) 普通工作者認(rèn)為：這意味著和老板搞好關(guān)系以得到晉升；而明星工作者則懂得，這是要真正地與有知識(shí)的行家們建立起關(guān)系，因?yàn)樗麄儠?huì)幫助你更快更好地完成工作。

３．自我管理 不要局限在你的辦公桌是干凈還是雜亂這類(lèi)區(qū)區(qū)小事上---這些與成功沒(méi)有多大的關(guān)系。關(guān)鍵是當(dāng)你安排自己的時(shí)間、工作范圍以及工作目標(biāo)時(shí)，你是否堅(jiān)定不移地走在一條“至關(guān)重要的道路”上。

４．看待事物的角度 普通工作者從他們自己的角度看事物，然而明星工作者卻學(xué)會(huì)從自己的同事、老板、客戶以及競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者的不同角度來(lái)考慮事情。

５．服從精神 你無(wú)須凡事唯唯諾諾才算是一名好的追隨者。有聰明的方法能使你既能自我約束又可影響所發(fā)生的事情。

６．領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力 無(wú)須盲目崇拜“大人物”領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。相反，你要學(xué)會(huì)用“小人物”的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)藝術(shù)來(lái)影響別人。

７．團(tuán)隊(duì)精神 大家都在談?wù)?ldquo;團(tuán)隊(duì)”，但是明星工作者懂得如何去避開(kāi)陷阱，有條不紊地干好工作。

８．組織才能 “辦公室政治”已經(jīng)聲名狼藉。明星工作者懂得與適當(dāng)?shù)娜私⑵鹨环N互相信任的關(guān)系，這有助于他們對(duì)付沖突，增進(jìn)合作。９．自我表現(xiàn) 人們通過(guò)在會(huì)上和工作匯報(bào)中以你的一言一行來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)你。明星工作者了解他們的聽(tīng)眾，能做到以言行迎合不同的聽(tīng)眾。
