10 Smart Ways to Become Indispensable at Work
Just doing your job isn't enough these days. To become a superstar in your field, it was never enough. But today, with the reality of a tight employment market, adding value beyond your job description is a must for everybody.
Here are three tips to get you moving toward workplace indispensability. Visit the blog to find the entire list of ten great tips.
1. Get out in front and analyze cutting-edge trends and opportunities. Identify the people in your industries who always seem to be out in front, and use all the relationship skills you've acquired to connect with them. Also, read, read, read. Eventually, you'll start making connections others aren't.
2.Ask seemingly stupid questions. If you ask questions that are like no other, you get results that are unlike any that the world has seen. How many people have the courage to ask those questions? The answer: all the people responsible for the greatest innovations.
3.Develop a niche. Successful small businesses that gain renown establish themselves within a carefully selected market niche that they can realistically hope to dominate. Individuals can do the same thing. Think of several areas where your company underperforms and choose to focus on the one area that is least attended to.
The great thing about this strategy is that you're not only creating job security. You're developing skills and expertise that will nourish your career, wherever you take it.
For discussion on the blog, what are you doing today to make yourself indispensible at the office?
Warmest,
Keith
