As the saying goes: A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Everyone in the workplace should have the dream of wanting to be promoted and raised.

However, not everyone has the same opportunity for advancement. Because those employees who can be successfully promoted and appreciated by the boss must be employees who feel valuable in the eyes of the boss and can create benefits for the company. And worthless employees, that is, worthless employees, may be a dispensable existence for the company, and naturally there will be no room for promotion.

So, what kind of employee is a valuable employee in the eyes of the boss? There is no uniform answer to this question. Everyone is in a different environment, leaders are different, and their preferences are naturally different, but generally, employees with the following characteristics will definitely be loved and appreciated by leaders.

Ability to think independently

When we were in school, we often heard teachers ask us to form the habit of independent thinking. Similarly, this principle applies in the workplace, because only what we think independently is our own. No matter right or wrong, you can always learn, growing up.

Mr. Lu Xun once said that the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and monkeys. The meaning of this sentence does not refer to the genetic difference between humans and monkeys, but the difference in the way of thinking between humans and humans.

From the perspective of work, there must be a big difference in work efficiency and work performance between those who have independent thinking ability and those who are used to listening to orders and looking for standard answers.

Many people must have heard this story:

A boss asked two employees, A and B, to research potatoes in the market. The order he gave to the two was "to find out the price of potatoes this year."

Soon B came back and confidently told the boss the price of potatoes this year. "How about the potato production this year?" the boss asked immediately. This time, B stopped the question, "You only let me know the price, not the output, so I came back after asking."

After a while, A also rushed back. He took potatoes from his pocket to the leader, and reported: "This year's price is about the same as last year, both 1.2 yuan per pound. I asked a few vegetable farmers and they all said that this year's harvest is better. , if the quantity is large, it can be cheaper. I think the quality is not bad this year, so I will show you one.”

Obviously, A has more independent thinking ability than B, and thinks clearly about the boss's intention before the investigation.

In contrast, leaders of course prefer to choose people who can think independently, act on them, and get results in front of their leaders.

strong communication skills

In the workplace, language communication skills are definitely one of the necessary skills.

Many people think that it is enough for me to do my job well. I am not a salesperson, so eloquence is not important to me, and I don’t need to deal with people very much. Some people will say that I am born with this kind of character, I don't like to talk to people, let me communicate with you in person, it is better to chat on WeChat.

In fact, as the saying goes: no one is an island.

Communication skills are not the only skills a salesperson needs to have. In the process of work, whether it is communicating with colleagues or reporting work to superiors, you need to have clear language skills. Strong communication skills can not only save time at work, improve work efficiency, but may even facilitate things that you could not have done otherwise.

From another point of view, communication ability is also a kind of work ability. People who can communicate must be people who are attentive to their work. At least they can let the leaders see the feedback of your work in time. If you don't communicate and communicate, it is very likely that sometimes the work you work hard to do will become useless in the end, and no one except yourself will know whether you have contributed or not.

In the workplace, efficient expression is the basic quality of a workplace person, good communication skills, competent for many jobs, more valued by leaders, and more opportunities. And weak communication skills can reflect a person's lack of coordination ability, logical ability, and adaptability, and naturally it is difficult to win recognition.

Therefore, learning to communicate effectively is a key step towards success in the workplace.

Active learning, active self-improvement

Times are developing and society is progressing. The competition in the market is becoming more and more intense, and the competition in the workplace is also becoming more and more intense.

You will find that many workplace people begin to study unconsciously, recharge themselves, and constantly improve themselves. Some are even willing to spend a lot of money to buy some high value-added courses to learn, hoping to help their career development and to keep up with the pace of social progress.

Shopping malls are a war without gunpowder smoke, and the workplace is no exception. There is a lot of competition. There may be many people competing for the same position, and the company will only reuse the person with the strongest comprehensive strength. Without learning new knowledge, there is no competitiveness.

It has become inevitable to pay more and more attention to learning in the workplace. On the way of learning, some people are afraid of not being able to keep up with the rhythm or falling behind, not to mention those who do not study? Sometimes the gap between people is just opened up little by little.

Survive within eight hours, and develop beyond eight hours.

Therefore, please maintain your learning ability in the workplace, because the future is full of changes and opportunities. Only by actively learning and constantly improving yourself can you be better seen by leaders and get the chance to shine.
