When a group of young people enter the company at the same time, why can some people get promoted and pay rise all the way, while others still stay at the same place?
Here’s the answer:
First you have to do it, then someone says you can do it, and finally the person who says you can do it.
What does that mean?
1. Do it yourself first
To improve their ability is very important, this is not to say more, can refer to my previous article to see how to improve their ability: how does the average person achieve an annual salary of 500,000 yuan
2. Then someone has to say you can
If a person says they’re awesome, does that work?
As talented as you are, you need recognition. It’s not enough to just be yourself.
Now almost a lot of companies can have year-end assessment, assessment of the highest achievement of that person, is the diligent assiduous person? Is it the most capable and talented? Is it the most senior?
No, it’s the popular one.
One study of MIT’s dorms found that the most popular students lived on the stairs or near the trash cans. These locations increase your chances of interacting with others, which in turn increases the chances of people getting to know you and liking you. Therefore, the popularity of this area will be better.
However, the last place anyone wants to sit in an office is in the aisle. It’s because the location is so busy that it’s easy to be disturbed. But there’s one great benefit to working in the aisle: it improves your chances of connecting with others and making you a people person.
So one of the easiest ways to gain popularity and fit in at the office is to move to the aisle.
The more people know you, the more important you are. The more popular you are, the more people will say “yes”.
The last one who says you can do it should do it
It’s important to know a lot of people, but be careful to get to know the key people.
What is more important if “your peers” say you are talented, or if the company’s top brass recognizes you?
As you can imagine, it must be the leader. So, pay attention to the quality of your community, which is: people who say you can do it, do it.
The people you work with on a daily basis probably have the same resources, but people in particular positions in an industry have far more resources.
The study found that those who were able to connect different departments and communicate across industries were promoted the fastest. These people, with more resources and connections, are able to call on more people to serve them, leading to faster promotions.
4. How to network effectively?
Many people will have such a doubt, friends do not often contact, slowly faded. So how do you maintain relationships?
Feng Lun once said: under normal circumstances, people’s lifetime relationship is three numbers: 10, 30 and 60.
What does that mean?
When you are in trouble, you can borrow money from no more than 10 people. Even counting relatives, friends and parents, there will be no more than 10 people you can borrow money from.
The next level is for friends, probably no more than 30 people you deal with regularly or do anything with. The 30 also include the 10 people mentioned above.
The outermost circle of acquaintances — those who remember the person on the phone and have a rough background — are 60 “friends” that you may not have seen in a long time. The 60 include the 30 mentioned above.
Therefore, people in this life, in fact, do not need too much relationship can cope. There are very few people to get to know, not many, not more than 60. As long as the list of 60 people on the plate every day, can be used for a lifetime.
I have a friend who is a master in this field. He writes down the people he often needs to contact and turns them over every month. “This friend has been out of touch for three months and invites him to chat with him.”
You see, in a relationship, if you’re both passive, you’re slowly disconnecting. So, the secret to maintaining a relationship is that one of you takes the initiative.
Networking is more important than you think, and in order to maintain effective relationships, you must establish yourself as a proactive person.
