The Golden Rule - Be Prepared: You should always be ready to go to any boardroom
or meeting or presentation. Keep your business development ideas, plans and
strategy documented and handy, to be referred and presented anywhere, any
minute. This will just add an extra star in your performance book and speak
volumes about your potential and performance.
Justify the Cost: As you climb up the success ladder, with additional work load and responsibilities your paycheck will obviously get fatter. Here, at this point, don't forget your cost to company is also going up. So, it becomes all the more essential for you to boost your contribution towards company's bottom line.
Widen your Horizon: Many a times, you just pay no heed to or overlook errors which don't fall under your department or key responsibility areas. However, you must understand whenever you take pain to walk out of your comfort zone; the outcome is always rewarding.
Keep Peers/Customers Happy: Make your relationship strong with other departments, peers and colleagues and especially the ones which are outside the office. Once your success is ensured at this front, your employer will value your skill more. People who are good at handling customers/peers/colleagues are too few in any industry.
Be Professional: It may sound too cliche, but beyond doubt your professional attitude is the biggest differentiator. No matter, if you are an executive or a general manager, if your attitude towards your work, colleagues and customers is not professional, no company would want to hire or retain you even in good times.
If you follow these rules with your mind and heart, your boss will never let you go off from his hands.
