How not to do: obvious mistakes
lateness
Yes, the banal lateness employment, especially for frivolous reasons or because of their own lack of organization. This applies more to work under an employment contract, which clearly painted arrival and departure of staff. Nowadays, there are many opportunities to build yourself your work schedule without prejudice to the overall result. But try to be on time for meetings and the "RAM".
Well, too late, but then the fun begins - attempts to justify to management and myself, "the bus delayed "," not heard alarm clock "," I was asked to help with the morning "," weariness could not get up in time, "" stuck in a traffic jam. " Not only are people who recognize the fact of the delay and the fault and say, "From now on this will not happen again."
On the value of responsible people, and the first where it all starts - coming to work on time, regardless of the circumstances. And even if these circumstances occurred, then try to overcome them and be sure to call the leadership as soon as possible. And try never to be late, especially when you expect in the future.
Heightened self-esteem
employees often overestimate their skills and contribute to the common cause, expressing his wishes to the leadership of the salary increase or a new position prematurely.
This serious mistake typically make young employees and people with high self-esteem, do not understand the principles of building a career and relationship with management. Typically, these people for a long time at one job do not stay and do not have personal growth, as their interests are limited to a cash equivalent waste of working hours.
Professionals know exactly what they are, when it's worth mentioning (and whether it is worth) and understand when it is best to leave the companyIf they do not like something. Also sees and management - who how much and why - remember this, do not take other people's dim-witted.
idle talk
Empty talk - this is one of the main problems in domestic companies, especially in the public and corporate sectors (we must admit). Endless discussion of problems, difficulties of work, wages, weather, recreation and past news media.
At work, there is also this: among the many "rassuzhdateley" there are a few people (or even one) are really doing something, performing tasks on time without wasting time in vain. In fact, our common model of the "seven stand, one does."
The only exception is for a long talk "RAM", since it discusses the essence of tasks, but also there must be a coordinator, interrupting the conversation is not the case.
To unwind and relax, it is possible to organize coffee breaks and discussing something really important and interesting, of course, not carried away.
Gossip
One of the bad habits of staff at work - discussion of each employee. How he lives, how it works, how many received, and how little does.
Remarkably, there are certain people in a team or group of people who love to do, trying to assert themselves in this way. If you are a reasonable person, try hard to prevent such talk, or at least not to participate in them, declaring their position failure gossip. Then in the future you will never have to participate in these conversations, and then blush. Do your job, do the conscience, and if the others have time for gossip, then you have it should not be.
Still there is a version of gossip - customize colleagues against his direct supervisor. Constantly complaining about him and his decision and discuss his wealth. Believe me, sooner or later we will know who is the most "likes" unhealthy atmosphere in the team, and this man is not got nothing but a bad reputation and unpleasant conversations.
shifting responsibility
Most children's mistake at work.
- Why am I supposed to do?
- John Doe better cope with this problem.
- Let's tomorrow or the day after, I'll take care of this task (in the hope that others will give).
- This is not my work, not on salary.
- And why in another department do not, and we should do?
These phrases sound so stupid that we should see from the produced impression on the manager and colleagues. And people think that it is in order - to take on less responsibility when given instructions, and more, in addition to voice their claims at this time.
And everything has to be simple: there is the problem, there are conditions that have data. Make an effort to solve it, come for advice to a colleague or supervisor. Do not look for a reason not to move the task to the place, especially when it is not to their liking, or new - it is necessary to seek ways to solve it. When the work is beyond the scope of your duties, you will understand it, and the head will warn you about this.
How not to do: hidden errors
"I do not know, do not know how, do not want to"
Manager or colleague asks you to do some work, a little higher than your responsibilities, or help in a common cause, and you say you do not know how to do it, do not know how, or do not want, because it is small you interested. Yes, this problem is not included in your record, or it exceeds your professional level, but you have to enjoy such tasks.
Why? It's simple: if you still do not know how something is a great way to acquire new knowledge, skills, express themselves, and to show himself as a man who can be relied upon.
More often head so check subordinates: who is worth spending time and attention, taking into account future growth, and with whom just work. Never say "I do not know, do not know how, do not want to" calm grasp for something new and say, "I will try to solve, give me time to do." And if you are confident in their abilities, then boldly proclaims, "I'll deal with this issue!"
Be the one to whom you can rely, configure themselves a good reputation. Very often, workers, accustomed to the comfort zone in the workplace, do not want to leave her (as usually happens with age), and lost in their own "swamp". The level of professional development is never the maximum - is an endless process.
Lesson personal business during working hours
Very popular hidden error in our enterprises, especially in large companies, where the "cog", you can get lost in the system.
No matter what the scale of private affairs: correspondence in social networks, paying bills, reading books, issues with their personal customers. If you think that a manager or other staff do not notice or do not understand, you're so vain think.
This, of course, wine is often the head that does not prevent such action, but there must be an employee responsible to the case when no one is looking for it - it's corporate ethics.
A simple piece of advice: never engaged in personal activities during working hours, so you will not achieve any professional heights, much less improve. Remember most, what you are at work and the need to deal with it.
Extensiveness
Extensiveness - is to develop a storm of activity, be everywhere, to participate, to push their ideas, do a lot of minor tasks. But the efficiency of this work - on the strength of 30%. Everything goes nowhere.
Such workers a little bit, but they are (often they are still energy vampires). Typically, these people want to show their importance due to the bustle of the work scope. Often at a professional level, they have a superficial knowledge.
It is necessary to work not extensively, and intensivelyNot forgetting about the productive leisure. Come - work, tired - rest, I went home - forget about work.
carelessness
One of the worst hidden errors. You take over the order and execute it on time or reduce the amount of work yourself, knowing that you anything for it will not. And it is fine if it is done infrequently, but people are taking advantage of this and start to abuse. This, of course, does not apply to small companies - there is such a trick will not work.
Know how to respond first of all to ourselves, and if for something to come from, it gets the job done in the specified time frame. If you can not keep within the allotted time, you, you'd better tell your supervisor in advance and ask for a reprieve. Believe me, this duty will be reckoned to you at work and in life.
task execution "slipshod"
It is very difficult perceptible error. You are given a task, and you are doing it on the basis only of their own interests to do as soon as possible and wait for the next task, or relax, without seeing all the prospects of the work done.
The task, in your opinion, is made, but in reality - not until the end, you can still supplement, to add, to optimize. You see the problem as simply a point in the plane, not as a running process from start to finish, with the involvement of people and resources.
Well it can be understood by analysts example. They are able to step back from the problem and consider it from the sidelines as observers, thus seeing its real components, not only the subjective side.
Part of the work "on speed" manifests itself in those workers who want to complete as many tasks and prove yourself to the authorities. A is obtained at the output is often not the product quality is not so, not with those parameters. And we have a few days or weeks to bring everything to the end, while reluctant, as the comments you give voice to the other: the head, staff and partners.
Dive into the process of the task, consider all facets: what are the requirements, what terms, for who work as any comments you can improve you would have added to make your work better.
Finally
When performing any work you need to strive for perfection, and although it does not reach. In addition to you, leaning back in his chair and clasped his hands behind his head, were fully satisfied with their work.
Remember that high-quality approach to any business at work brings inner satisfaction and aids in career growth. Work on our mistakes, become better, and it is sure to bear fruit - both in monetary terms and in terms of personal growth.
