K 12 A 32-year-old worker in the education industry suddenly lost his way because of the downturn in the industry. He was so anxious that he lost sleep for a week. So I contacted Lao Wang for career counseling last night.
Lao Wang believes that no matter what industry, as long as there are big changes, many people will lose their jobs. How can I make myself have the ability to change industries at any time?
Lao Wang believes that if you want to have the ability to switch at any time, you need to do it: you must have a skill. Throughout history, anyone who has made great achievements is a person with "one skill".
As long as you have "one skill" and a methodology of rapid growth, your career development will be rain or shine.
For people in the workplace, how to achieve efficient growth? Lao Wang is here to recommend you a fast and efficient growth model: growth model. GROW model can help people in the workplace sort out the status quo and reduce unnecessary interference.
What is the growth model? Look at the picture below first:
The GROW model is the whole process from "G→R→O→W", as follows:
G: goals and objectives: set reasonable goals suitable for your own characteristics, not blindly or casually. You can set a benchmark, take the benchmark as a guide, clarify the gap, and get closer step by step.
R: Realistic status quo, defining status quo, setting goals,
O: options: find gaps and find problems. Find the gap, find the problems that cause the gap, and solve these problems before entering the road of growth.
W: Will Will: Will supports strong motivation. Only by being clear about your wishes, goals or missions can you have a strong and lasting motivation. What do you use to ask yourself, what caused your troubles, and where can you get closer to your goal?
So, how to use the GROW model to achieve efficient growth? Lao Wang gives you five suggestions:
1, set excellent coordinates, taking the leader as an example.
A person makes rapid progress, and the premise of becoming more and more excellent is to be an excellent person. This is also what Lao Wang often mentioned: when people are in the workplace, you must learn to observe with your eyes and think hard about how leaders arrange their work and how to deal with complex relationships. But many times, leaders may not do it right. You must think comprehensively with speculative thinking, so as to make faster progress, instead of finding fault with the leaders.
Therefore, those employees who have made rapid progress in the workplace must have set themselves an excellent goal. Under the premise of clear goals, professionals can clearly choose their own growth path, improve themselves and achieve their goals.
When Miss Shen first entered the company, she took his leadership as her growth goal. Under the role of example, find the gap, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and adjust your working methods. Compared with the other two colleagues who entered the company at the same time, her comprehension seems to be stronger and her progress is faster, so she has gained more opportunities and entered a virtuous circle of efficient growth.
It is an effective way to regard the boss as the growth coordinate in the workplace. Under the guidance of excellent benchmarks at close range, it is easier to stimulate your potential and find the best growth path.
2, clear the status quo, find shortcomings, and objectively understand yourself.
The process of achieving the growth goal is the process from the starting point to the goal. In addition to clear goals, it is particularly important to know your current situation.
Many people often give some vague, emotional and subjective descriptions when describing their current situation.
In Lao Wang's career counseling, I have heard many psychological counselors describe themselves like this: "My development is not very good, I am very confused", or "I think I have reached a bottleneck" and so on.
In order to clearly understand their current situation, people in the workplace can ask themselves the following questions.
What is your core competitiveness? What are your strengths and weaknesses?
How far are you from your goal now?
What is holding you back from achieving your goal?
What do you need most to achieve your goal? Including resources, capabilities, methods, etc.
Has anyone achieved this goal, and what have you learned from it?
What achievements have you made in your professional field at present?
Through these questions, people in the workplace can have a clearer judgment on themselves, rather than a vague subjective understanding.
3. Learn the boss's working methods and absorb the work experience of leaders.
Standing on the shoulders of giants can reach the peak faster, so if you are eager to grow rapidly in your work, you should know how to absorb excellent working methods and experience.
Although Ms. Mo, assistant to the general manager, has only been employed for half a year, she has been appreciated by the leaders because she can find out the boss's work logic in some simple tasks such as uploading and distributing, meeting minutes and bill sorting. Therefore, what the leader gives her is always done safely.
Leadership is the best example for people in the workplace. From the decision-making and meeting spirit of leaders, we can analyze the thinking and logic of leadership work. Turning this kind of thinking and logic into your own method will definitely make your growth more efficient.
4, dare to communicate with leaders, it is easier to get advice and gain growth.
In the workplace, many people will habitually choose to work hard. They don't have the will to actively communicate with leaders, or they are afraid to communicate with leaders and regard closeness as a flattering act.
Although this is a kind of group consciousness, it does not mean that it is correct and valuable. Lao Wang has come into contact with many senior executives in the workplace, and they affirmed this point: during his growth period, some of them benefited from the guidance of leaders. Because some work ideas and methods pointed out by leaders have been verified by a lot of practice. People who devote themselves to their work often spend more time summing up some experience in their work.
5. Learn to show yourself better.
Many people in the workplace naively hope to meet a fair and just leader who is willing to help them grow. In fact, this kind of scene can only be seen in TV series. Because leaders will adjust the appointment and dismissal of personnel according to "needs and interests" when dealing with things, there is no right or wrong. If one day, you sit in the position of leader, you will do the same.
So, how can leaders know you and trust you? Show yourself reasonably. Because reasonable exhibitions attract the attention and call of leaders; Too many exhibitions are boring.
On how to show yourself, Lao Wang has analyzed it many times in detail in his previous articles, and also gave a specific methodology. Please refer to the previous article for details.
Write it at the end
Everyone in the workplace should establish upward communication thinking, maintain equal and smooth communication with leaders, and gain more guidance and experience, which will help people in the workplace form more efficient logic and make greater progress in application.
