What do you rely on to survive and thrive in the workplace?

Besides personal ability and effort, what else?

Bill Gates once said:

It can be seen how important it is to build a personal network of personal relationships in the workplace.

So, how can we build a high-quality interpersonal network in the workplace?

[1] Accurately judge the situation:

As the saying goes, "The situation is stronger than the people".

Of course, the judgment of the situation mentioned here is not to guide everyone to blindly follow the trend in the workplace.

It's about judging your personal strengths and weaknesses, because what you don't have is exactly what you need.

Then, you can find some people around you in a more targeted manner, if they have strengths that you do not have, and work hard to promote cooperation between you, making them your personal network resources.

[2] Clearly set goals:

Having a clear goal is to let you know how big your ambitions are.

People with big ambitions need a strong interpersonal network to support;

On the other hand, people with small ambitions, no matter how strong their interpersonal network is, you can't hold them.

Therefore, you need to target your staged goals to lock in the contacts you need to meet, and follow the vines to continuously improve the level of your contacts according to the continuous improvement of your goals.

[3] Let yourself be self-disciplined and excellent:

"Anyone who cultivates into a plane tree must have a phoenix perched on the branches."

The characteristics of each person form their own magnetic field, which can always attract the corresponding crowd.

A person, the more self-disciplined, the better, and the better one can naturally attract more high-quality contacts.

People who rely on their outstanding talents, profound knowledge, excellent qualities, and noble personality charms are more likely to establish deep friendships because of mutual appreciation, thus forming a relatively stable "strong connection".

Such "strong connections" are not easily changed by your working time and environment. No matter if you change jobs or start a business in the future, they will still be your strong backing.

[4] Pay attention to the construction of personal brand:

No matter how the era develops and changes, it cannot change the concept of "matching each other" in everything.

Now, more and more people pay attention to their personal brand, and they also pay more attention to the brand equivalent of the people around them.

In order to make a great person truly your network, you must also become a great person in their eyes.

Otherwise, it's useless no matter how many talented people you know.

Therefore, you can't just focus on making yourself excellent, but let more people know that you are excellent.

[5] Be a reliable person:

"Reliable or not" and "excellent or not" are not the same concept.

Reliable people know how to focus, know how to focus, know how to cherish, know how to integrate, and can summarize and give feedback in time, and do things with a beginning and an end, and a good beginning and a good end.

If your network provides you with resources or help, but you don’t know how to cherish it, don’t integrate it, and waste resources in vain, it means that your network is cut off at the same time.

A network connection is not a phone number, nor is it easy to reach;

In fact, there is no need to climb the dragon and the phoenix to establish a personal relationship, and you don't need to be pretentious, and you don't need to be hypocritical.

A little bit of wire can make a network, and the network of relationships is no more than that.

Everyone is a "dot" in the interpersonal network, and the connection between people is one "line" after another.

We should strive to make ourselves a more valuable "point" in the "net", and at the same time, pay attention to the connection of the "line".

The value of "point" is personal talent, quality, ability, brand...

The connection of "line" is the daily contact, interaction, interaction and value exchange between you and other individuals. Just like the Internet, if you don't take care of it for a long time, the line will be broken.

Harvey McKay, a world-class networking guru, said:

In the workplace, instead of waiting for opportunities, it is better to act now and build your own personal network.
