"Workplace Insights" Why do we need to be promoted

Preface

My heart is quite restless these days.

There are a lot of things to think about, none of them are about technology.

Today I will talk to you about a topic that we all care about: promotion.

I held a meeting in the afternoon and chatted with some of my subordinates on this topic. I also had some new feelings.

Record it here and share it with you by the way, hoping to inspire you.

Today’s main content:

• Why should I be promoted?
• What kind of person is easier to promote?
• How can I get promoted?
• Promotion is so tired, can't I lie flat?

First consider a question: Why do we need promotion?.

Why promote?

Everyone may wish to recall first, the education we have received since childhood, the various ideas we have been instilled, such as:

• Study hard and make progress every day
• to higher places, water flows to lower places
• world is difficult, as long as you are willing to climb
• 1609e74624974f There will be long winds and waves, and there will be times when the

And so on.

Until the high school, the teachers repeated:

• Study hard so that you can get into a good university in the future.
• Work hard now, and it will be easier when you go to university in the future (actually it's a lie)
• Only when you go to a good university and find a good job can you get ahead.
• ...

hard, the positive spiritual concept has always been with us to grow.

After elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, consciously or unconsciously, they are divided into different levels.

The higher the level, the higher the level, the greater the possibility of obtaining more social resources in the future.

In fact, it is the same at work. The higher the level, the greater the resources, benefits and contacts.

At the same time, they also have greater ability to protect themselves.

I believe that when most of us first entered society, we all had ambitions, and we all wanted to do something.

There are some people who strictly demand themselves, be motivated and continue to learn. He made a prominence in his work, performed well, and was quickly appreciated and promoted by his boss, promoted and raised, and reached the pinnacle of life.

There are also some people who have lost their goals, slowly slack off, be a monk and hit the clock for a day, and finally become marginal figures and sink in the workplace.

After three years of graduation, this gap has gradually widened, and after five years, the gap will become more obvious.

Although promotion requires some luck, but I think: luck can be planned.

The so-called the harder you work, the luckier you are, which also means this.

There is only one major premise: you are working hard plan aimlessly.

plan is very important. Everyone is the designer and architect of his own destiny.

Returning to the topic, according to my own understanding, I will first answer why I need to be promoted:

• Promotion can bring more resources
• Promotion can call a broader vision
• Promotion can bring better career development and job opportunities
• Promotion can call better income

Promotion can bring many benefits.

Then what kind of person is easier to be promoted to ?

What kind of person is more likely to be promoted?

There are tens of millions of people in the workplace, and there are only a few who can be promoted.

But promotion is not without a trace. In fact, promotion also has methodology. Here are some practical experiences to share with you:

1. proactive and do business well
2. Continuous learning, technology empowerment
3. , value-driven

Let me expand on that.

1. Be proactive and do business well

There are two key words here: Active and Active.

Let me talk about my understanding first.

First, a positive atmosphere in the team, is to create a good important part of the team image.

People who can motivate enthusiasm and improve team productivity will be given priority.

Proactively, can actively plan work tasks, take the initiative to learn more information with others, take the initiative to communicate, take the initiative to ensure progress and quality, control risks, and continue to follow up.

In addition, if you have a promotion plan, it is best to take the initiative to communicate and ask him to give you some suggestions.

According to the suggestions given, determine the short-term plan and long-term plan, do a good job of execution, and regularly with 1609e74624a1ed, which is also very helpful for promotion.

In fact, there are many people around us who are diligent and stubborn, and they are comparable to old scalpers.

A lot of things have been done and it is also very hard.

If meets a superior who is not so concerned about employee growth, it is likely to become a tool person:

Therefore, we must take the initiative to avoid becoming instrumentalists.

2. Continuous growth, technology empowerment

In addition to being proactive, we should also pay attention to our own growth.

Continue dig out the points where you expand your boundaries.

In the same 10 years, some people only do what they can do, repeating constantly, and eventually they will only become skilled workers.

Some people continue to learn and develop to become technical experts. There is a huge gap between them.

and so:

Don't repeat one year of work experience for 10 years, but really accumulate 10 years of work experience.

If your current job can be done easily and handily, then you should try more difficult and more complicated things instead of just brushing up your proficiency and indulging in a state of feeling good about yourself.

For example, you have been doing business development and have become the backbone in the group. Not only is efficient, but is of good quality.

Then you can try to complete scheme design, architecture design, architecture reconstruction, and system optimization.

In addition, whether things are done or not done, you should do more review summary and find the points that can be improved and optimized by .

One more important point: After studying, it is best to have results that can be implemented.

This result can be:

• an article
• A technology sharing that helped colleagues
• made a tool to optimize development efficiency
• optimized a problem in the project
• optimizes a certain business scenario, improves user experience, and brings benefits to the project
• ...

In addition to being proactive and continuing to grow, we also need to empathize.

3. Empathy, value-driven

Assuming you were a supervisor, what kind of people would you promote?

There is no doubt that it is who can create greater value with 1609e74624acdb.

People who let their ability produce value for the company are more likely to be promoted than those who have the ability.

Therefore, if your time is precious, you should give priority to learning that can produce value for the company.

By the way, share our requirements and expectations for R&D:

How can I get promoted?

There is a saying in Ali: Promotion is a matter of course.

But what is natural?

Some people understand that with good performance at they can be promoted.

Some people understand that ability is enough, but what does 1609e74624ae25 have enough ability? Different people understand it differently, and it is difficult to measure.

Regarding the capabilities and performance , we need to be clear about:

Performance focuses on the business results , and promotion focuses on the ability improvement .

There is actually no necessary connection between the two.

I think we can think from two aspects:

1. Are you proficient and at the current level?
2. Do you have the abilities required for the next level?

Let's look at the first one: proficient at the current level and can work easily.

Let’s take a look at the difference between 1609e74624afb3 basic, proficiency, and proficiency (the following text is taken from

Base means will do

If you can do what is required at a certain level, it means that you have the basic abilities.

Of course, the here refers to being able to complete it independently, rather than telling you after others think about it, and then do it according to others' words.

Proficiency means do well

Different from the basics, proficiency means: can do the current level things well.

Doing a good job is reflected in proficient in doing things, mastering the best practices , being able to ensure the efficiency and quality of , and being able to get good results.

Proficiency means optimization

Proficiency refers to the ability to optimize things at the current level. For example, use different methods, thinking and tools to do the same thing and achieve a breakthrough of .

If you want to distinguish between doing well and optimization, we can understand it this way: doing well just means mastering the mature experience summarized by others, and optimization means you create new experience yourself.

What counts as new experience? It does not mean to be "a global first", but to be new in the environment (team, line of business, company, etc.) you are in.

For example, the architecture may have been used by other companies, but if the person who introduced it to this company is you, it will count as your optimization result.

It should also be noted that the set of standards I summarized is used to judge the required abilities at a certain level, not the level of individual skills.

For example, if you are engaged in development work, the core responsibility of P5/P6 is project development, and project development involves a series of individual skills such as business understanding, project planning, programming language, and bug fixes.

For these specific skill levels, it would be more appropriate to technical breadth or technical depth to distinguish.

The general promotion steps are:

1. first raise the abilities required by the current level to the proficiency level.
2. continue to improve in accordance with the requirements of the next level of ability, and then actively seek job opportunities and try the next level of work.
3. finally applied for promotion with the work results.

Is promotion so tiring, isn't it good to lie down?

Here we need to mention the well-known 35-year-old crisis.

To be honest, I have also worried about this issue.

Look at the following question and answer:

It is difficult to find a job after the age of 35, mainly employment cost of 1609e74624b2cc.

Freshmen are obedient, have strong learning ability, and can work overtime. Easy to use and cheap.

Under this price adjustment, we can only win through the growth accumulated over time.

What is this advantage, I hope you, as a reader, can think about it.

---

Now there is a saying: we programmers, we must do a good job at for 10 years, and we will be prepared to accumulate the wealth we need in the second half of our life.

Slightly exaggerated, but also more realistic.

If you are like a friend of mine: there is a building in Shenzhen, there are hundreds of mining machines, 2 bitcoins per day. Coming to work is just to kill the time, and you don't want to be the king of scrolls. That's fine.

But most of us are just ordinary people, and we can only survive in the workplace.

As the saying goes: advance, and nothing is done beforehand.

If you have ideas or plans for promotion, you need to prepare early.

to sum up

In short, the workplace is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Dare to take responsibility and dare to challenge is an effective survival rule in the workplace. still and there is no soil for survival.

I hope everyone can be promoted smoothly.
