Basics to reach the TOP

To succeed is not waiving a magical wand, but strategizing your moves. When you are in a big organization, and counted just as a normal resource, you need to decide whether to stay as you are or create an identity on the top. People take 7-8 years to reach there but if you have just started your career, there are ways to reach the Top soon. To survive as a King in the Chessboard is very difficult when there are hundreds waiting to kill you and win. So, how to get there??

1.Business Networking: The most important thing to decide in an organization is your target audience. Audience, I mean, those who will take you to the Top. Business Networking just does not mean talking to each and every people but making a move to the right people. When you know who are your audience, the next question is how to make contacts?? Well, the next point talks about that.

2.Showcase your Talent: Showcasing does not mean proving yourself the best, but differentiating yourself from the rest. Best is relative and has no proper definition to it. In a big organization, it’s very difficult to find the people who show interest in their organization. They are happy with the 9-5 jobs, salary and the events conducted by their organization. If you think sitting idle and doing your regular job perfectly, the company is going to shower you with more money, onsite opportunities and perks, forget it. It’s never going to happen. What’s needed then? Well, that’s what the third point talks about.

3.Initiatives: This is where more than 97% of the employees in a big organization lack. Try to participate and give suggestions and views every time your organization comes up with some future plans or initiatives. Interact with the management, if not anything, mail at least to the Management congratulating them of their initiatives. A well-documented mail can work wonder for you. Every time something new comes up in the team, try to involve yourself. This is not the only thing you need to do. There is something magical word associated with Initiatives…. Well…the next point

4.Feedback: Feedback, positive or negative helps in improving a lot. Mails to the people sitting on the top on the initiatives you have taken. Make yourself known to them. I am sure they will never say a NO in helping you with your work. Treat them as your mentor.

5.Communication Skills: This is the most important thing in an organization. A best communicator can only help himself in achieving what he wants. Sometimes, the receiver does not get the message. The same sentence can be said in a number of ways. You need to decide which is the best way to communicate yourself.

There is always a choice, whether to sit on a bench for whole life or to taste sweet success at the early stages of your career. The decision is yours……
