Different companies have different rules, so it is recommended to know the promotion mechanism of the company when faced with promotion opportunities.

There are usually three kinds of people who can influence your promotion:

1. Appraiser: direct leader and HR.

2. Decision-maker: Big Boss or CEO?

3. influence: it may be a partner or a colleague.

A minefield of promotion

1) Don't screw up the opportunity to work with the big boss.

Try not to exceed your report. If the big boss comes to you directly, remember to tell the small boss when it's over. If the big boss sends an email, remember to copy the small boss when replying. Show the materials for the big boss to the small boss first.

2) Don't relax during the inspection period before promotion.

Usually during the inspection, you will be asked to take on more responsibilities, usually some important projects.

3) Stay away from workplace rumors and don't judge your workplace partners behind their backs.

The interpersonal relationship behind the workplace is complex, and two people who are far apart may know each other.

2. Learn to "work smart"

Objectivity is important. If your work can't be described by objective figures or cases, your promotion will be passive.

1. Focus on long-term planning, not short-term tasks assigned by superiors, not various emergencies.

If your cooperation with your superiors consists of a series of short-term tasks without long-term planning, then you can easily become a firefighter.

Clear the focus of work with superiors and communicate regularly. When your energy is occupied by other jobs, feedback and communicate with your superiors when necessary, and ask them to help you reduce your burden or clarify your priorities.

When you receive a specific task temporarily, you also need to confirm the expectations of your superiors.

For example, "Xiao Li, there are two Singapore guests tomorrow. Please help entertain them at noon. " -"When will they arrive? Do you want to arrange a car to pick them up? What's the budget for noon? Do you want other colleagues to accompany you? Is there anything inconvenient to say or something you have to tell them? " .

When you are not sure what the boss thinks, don't be afraid to ask more questions, otherwise the result of hard work for half a day is not what the boss wants at all.

2. Three important work habits.

1) Don't reinvent the wheel. There must be ways to solve routine work, find ready-made methods or tools quickly, and finish the work at hand quickly.

2) Become an improver. Choose more, faster, better quality and lower cost than before. Use "why-why analysis"; Keep asking why and find the real reason.

3) Respond in time. "three long and two short methods": where are the three strong and two weak.

The Relationship between Personal Performance and Promotion

1) performance is not everything, and the weight of performance may be only 10% in some enterprises.

2) You can't do anything without performance, and you won't be promoted without performance.

3) It is easier to get promoted if you are new to a post and make outstanding achievements in a short time.

3. Self-cultivation of workplace leadership

Thinking tool 1

Overall situation: first understand the purpose, then take measures; Classify first, and then solve them one by one; Consider the whole first, then deal with the details. (Purpose before measures, classification before solution, whole before details)

Thinking tool 2

Think at a higher level than you are now. At the grass-roots level, business details are mainly considered, at the middle level, tasks and projects are considered, and at the top level, business models of enterprises are considered.

Praise formula:

You are doing very well. Why are you doing so well? How I feel inside.

"Mavericks, you work in the factory today. Thank you for your careful preparation. Several questions that customers have questions are basically in the materials we have prepared. It's really nice to work with you. "

In addition, praise should be as timely as possible

Key formula:

What did you do wrong today? Why do I think you did wrong? My inner feelings.

Positive feelings are expressed, and happy expressions are put on the face, or words and limbs. Express negative emotions, express anger and disappointment clearly, not physically.

Driving force: As a subordinate, constantly take the initiative to find the superior and tell him how it is going and what help he needs. If you finish the task on time and ahead of schedule, and constantly remind your superiors which directions can be the main body and which details can be paid attention to, it has great potential.

Let others feel that what you want him to do is his most important thing: for example, through brainstorming, fully express the views of each project team member, guide everyone to discuss in the direction I hope, and finally let the team feel that this plan is put forward by themselves. If you have senior leaders, you can find ways to turn your project into a sub-project of the leadership project.

4. Effectively improve the visibility of the workplace

1) Associate your name with a positive ability. Good eloquence, high digital sensitivity, particularly strong execution, PPT is good. If you don't find your own ruling field, you can ask your superiors or colleagues what your greatest advantage is in their hearts. Once you find the advantage area, try to be related to this ability and strive for projects related to this ability. Even the circle of friends forwards articles related to this ability. In addition, don't label yourself negatively. Never say you can't.

2) Participate in company-level projects with cross-departmental cooperation, and let more colleagues know you. Even annual performances, sports meetings, new employee training, new project tests, university presentations and so on.

3) Find teacher occupation. Actively participating in company-level activities will definitely give you the opportunity to meet senior managers, ask superiors or old employees to recommend you, or participate in industry salons to stay active. Participate in authoritative training. Seek their help and establish real cooperation through specific things, not just having a meal. Looking for a big coffee to help, I just want to know what I want to do+the difficulties I encounter.

4) Wear a higher level. Observe the leaders' clothes carefully and get close to them.

5) Marketing your own performance. Share experiences instead of showing off grades, and teach colleagues instead of showing off skills. For example, experience summary meeting, internal priority sharing and cooperation with colleagues. Share their experiences and experiences.

External exposure:

Programmers can go to Github.

The operation can be the official account of WeChat.

HR can participate in industry forums, summits, etc. 、

5. Grasp external promotion opportunities

While looking at external opportunities, ask yourself repeatedly whether the main way to improve your current job is beyond your own efforts. If it is within the range, it is recommended to make achievements before jumping.

If the performance is excellent and the company is good, will you still resign? First, it is obvious that you are growing rapidly, but opportunities in the company are always not your turn; Second, the company is the leader of the industry, but looking at new opportunities in the long run may bring a devastating blow to your industry.

Channels to find opportunities: resume delivery, internal recommendation, headhunting contact.

Internal recommendation is the favorite of enterprises.

How to find a headhunter: update your resume. Actively participate in industry forums.

Think of the headhunter as your partner. Headhunters know better than you the development prospect of the industry, the scope of salary and benefits, the development level of different companies, the reputation of the industry, the interview style of the target company and the characteristics of employing people.

Headhunters don't know: what do you want and how are you different from others?

Tell each other your salary expectations. The clearer you think, the more headhunters can help you.

Encounter unprofessional headhunters: I keep spying on your company's secrets, I can't tell you your industry information, and I don't care what you think. Hang up the phone politely and don't waste time.

6. Open workplace mentality and "invisible promotion"

It is not easy for an enterprise to have 30 supervisors, 5 managers and 1 director among 200 employees. There are very few vice presidents and CEO positions at the top of the pyramid.

In enterprises, there are often some excellent employees, who also have excellent leadership and sufficient visibility. These are old sailors in the workplace and team stabilizers. Becoming such a person is an invisible promotion.

7. Learn to negotiate salary and reflect the value of the workplace.

There are many reasons for the low salary increase in the company. The teacher suggested that the salary increase should be given first before promotion. It is hard to say that there is a qualitative leap in salary within ranks because there is salary bandwidth.

Generally speaking, if you don't mention it, you will be considered satisfied with your salary, so you will give an average. There is a saying that crying children have milk to drink, which is also human nature.

Clarify the market value of ranks.

1) Looking at the recruitment announcements of leading enterprises, on the one hand, we can see what Gan Wei's main job is. If I do it, can I do it? If I am a manager, I think Gan Wei, a director, finds that he can do it, that's good. There is also a kind of information that is competent. You can see if you have academic qualifications, work experience and other requirements, and have a judgment on yourself.

2) Communicate with headhunters and professionals. Even if you are very loyal to the company, you should update your resume every six months or once a year. You can find some headhunters or headhunters to talk to you if you have the opportunity, but this is not to encourage job hopping. You can know how much you are worth in the market when chatting. In addition, dealing with experts in the industry can absorb some new industry trends, which is also very good for your current job.

3) Learn from others, such as colleagues who have joined the company at the same time, or colleagues with similar level, and see if they have made greater progress. If your abilities are similar and your development is slow, it may be your turn soon, or if the company doesn't give you opportunities, just look at the opportunities outside.

Don't hold the mentality that the company can't live without me, but that the company is better than me.

This company is fine without me. If I come, I can create more value and do better.

How to judge whether you are the one who is "better with me"?

1) Everything you have done can be included in your resume, such as what industry records you have created, what expectations you have exceeded, and what impossible tasks you have accomplished.

2) Judge whether you are at the core node of the company's decision. Are you involved in the company's plan? Are you a transit point in the process of information exchange among all departments of the company?

How to negotiate salary

1. Pay negotiation must be brave. Don't just talk about price, talk about value.

But if your value is not so high, then a high salary means more pressure.

2. Find the right negotiation opportunity, negotiation object and talk about the right conditions.

Timing: before the performance appraisal at the end of each year, during the quarterly performance appraisal.

Object: If it doesn't involve promotion, talk to the boss directly, review past performance, and then tell the boss to ask for a raise. If you see some business or management opportunities, you tell your boss that you want to get more exercise opportunities in this field, and you can do better, that is, you want more projects. It's called drawing cakes for the boss.

In fact, there is a safer way, that is, seize the opportunity first and do it first, instead of fighting for the championship first. For example, it is easy to be a director first and then be promoted to a director.

The promotion from middle level to high level needs a strategic interpretation.

job-hop

Don't jump if you don't see new opportunities, take the initiative to ask the other company what difficulties and challenges it has.

Don't worry when the performance is not good, the rising period is the best time to quit.

Be careful when another company offers a surprisingly high salary. In particular, competing companies are collecting information.

If it is a strange industry, be careful, at least you need to do the work.

Don't go to a declining industry.

During the interview, you should act more like yourself and even show your values unabashedly. Managing each other's expectations is equivalent to telling each other that you will not be wronged.

Cooperate with headhunters

Tell the headhunter what your shortcomings are and ask him to help you analyze whether it really conforms to this industry. Be sure to ask the other person's salary range before the interview.

Find out the bottom price, no matter what company, don't be lower than the bottom price. Market price, JD judgment of big companies. Without the bottom line price, the other party will not hesitate to accept this price.

When giving the expectation, give a price between the market price and no reserve price.

When talking about salary, it is most appropriate to talk to the department head, who really wants to recruit people.

Intrusion and deletion
