When was the last time you were reminded of something from your school’s moral science lectures while making a decision at the workplace. Sounds funny? Well not really if we ponder over this seriously.
Here are some ways in which you can ensure that you are ‘ethically-morally correct’ and stand tall to pat ourselves:
- Responsiveness – We all expect market rates when saying yes to an offer. But while on the job, we many a times forget our share of responsibilities. It is very important for each one of us to believe that we owe work and sincerity towards the company for supporting our life financially. It’s good to feel that the company needs us but we need the job too.
- Delegation – It is good to delegate work to manage it well. But that should never mean that we try and rub everything on the desk off. It is important to maintain ownership and provide inputs rather than just parking it with others to finish. Also, make sure you review it well to add your ‘magical touch’.
- Attitude – Postive attitude is a must. Education should make you a better employee and not a tough hard head. Do not take your position and the power you enjoy to your head. Be a gentleman in your conduct and make sure you are not just putting your knowledge to best use but also sharing it well. Only then you will prove to be a valuable asset for the company.
- Congeniality – Ever thought of wearing the Mr./Ms. Congeniality crown. It does not take much to be a pleasant person who is considered approachable. Trust me; the good lessons of life come from being with people. So make sure you network well and are sociable to an extent. This fosters mutual growth for you and the people surrounding you.
- Give you 100% - Whether or not your job is demanding should not keep you from giving yourself totally in terms of your dedication and sincerity. Do not keep back ideas for need of extra work or ignore work for any reason. In the cases where things seem to be slipping, make sure you meet your boss and sort things. Always be very clear and on what you have to offer to the company.
All this may sound preachy, but is not very difficult to implement. All you gain is a lighter heart, happiness within and the image of a sincere hardworking employee; and then nothing will be able to stop your leap towards success.
