How To Really Excel At Your Job (How To Be Indispensable)
We hope as managers and business owners that our employees give us there very best each and every day, however any realists will be the first to say that this is unfortunately far from the truth. What we can hope for is that a few out of the dozens will bring there A-game with them every morning and maybe one of them will prove to be exceptional. The proverbial diamond in the rough will be what you come to realize as an indispensable employee, an individual that it would be impossible to do without. What is it that sets this person apart from the rest? More importantly how is it that one becomes this person?
There exist several elements that will make someone indispensible to their organization or business.
1) Be truly engaged. Love what you do and give everything you have to each and every task. When one job is done look for another. Be flexible, understand the company’s bottom line and look to improve it.
2) Do your job well. In fact do your job better then anyone else can. Be exceptional. Invest the time, energy and thought into what is before you and own it. Not every one can do everything well so it is important to find yourself in a position that accentuates your abilities. Then hone and refine those skill sets so as to master your position.
3) Be able to multitask. Like we said above, be flexible, be able to step outside your comfort zone and take on additional responsibilities. Juggle multiple balls and let none of them fall. Your employer will be truly impressed when he sees that not only can you do your job well, but you can also do your job and someone else’s job with out any problems.
4) Understand your organization. There is an ebb and flow to all things. Everything is cyclical. Know when it is time to try that new marketing endeavor and know when it is time to stick with the basics. There will be a time when profits are high and the time for risk is now, and there will come a time when everyone needs to tighten their belts.
5) Really care. Go the extra mile, do the unexpected. Stay positive but don’t just brush off a failure, analyze it, care about it and make your job a priority in your life. It you really care about your work it will show in the quality of it.
Employing these techniques in your work place will help you on your way to becoming indispensable, and at the same time if you see one of your subordinates displaying these traits or characteristics recognize them and encourage that behavior. If you are going to do something do it right, do it to the best of your ability or else let someone else do it.
