The Path To A Good Career

To succeed with career goals is important to identify their abilities and make a plan of what it takes to increase your chances for success in the workplace.

Not everyone can become a CEO or a professional footballer, but it is important to be aware of what kind of person you are and exploit your advantage, says career expert Mette Manus to Your Money.

An important step on the road to success in the workplace is to increase self-awareness, knowing what one wants and what one can. One must know oneself and what resources you have, explains Manus.

Making career, acting in my eyes not to be CEO. It's about to get on the right shelf. If you're happy with what you do and get to a place where you get used yourself, then comes the career of themselves, argues Mette Manus, who is the founder and career coach in Manus Motivation.

If you have a manager in the stomach, she recommends to present it as early as possible.

It is advisable to engage in student activities. When you show initiative, responsibility and commitment. I think it is better to be engaged and rather to lose a couple of characters, than just having top grades, she says to Your Money.

She explains that one of the most important an education is that it demonstrates that it has an ability to learn, but also because it provides the confidence needed to move up in their career. But according to Manus it is really in the workplace learning.

It helps little to have good qualities that you no place, and simultaneously so it is not enough to have big goals for the ambitions far exceed the abilities and skills, says

Helene Tronstad Moe, who is an associate professor at the School of Marketing and Technical Manager at Adecco Search & Select.

For Your Money mentions Tronstad Moe three qualities one should have to become a leader:

Emotionally stable and robust. This makes it easier to cope with stress and deal with unpleasant or confusing situations.

Compassionate and / or co-operative. Leaders who trust their employees and gives the self achieves happy that employees are more committed to the job and adds an extra effort when needed. This stands in contrast to leaders who primarily focuses on a leadership style characterized by control and rigid micromanagement.

Preference for order and structure. This means in practice that the leader does she or he have said they will do. That plans are implemented in practice and followed up and that tasks are performed despite the fact that the manager seems they are "boring".

She says it also pays to be on a little extra if you want to be promoted in the workplace.

It's hard to be the best at everything, so prioritize what is most important for you to work a little overtime to complete a task, make the brand in Birken, creating the most impressive cupcakes to school closings or doing homework with the kids. As a woman you should probably look for an equal partner, says Tronstad Moe.
