The biggest mistake in life is to think that you work for someone
else. True, you may have a boss and you may collect a paycheck from a
company but, ultimately,you are master of your own destiny. You
decide what potential you reach in your career and what you will
eventually accomplish in your life.
Regardless of your circumstances, you can make a difference. This
is particularly true at your current workplace. Every day you have
the chance to excel, to stand out, and to be exceptional.You can make
a suggestion to improve a product or service or to better serve your
customers. You can identify an opportunity to save money or pursue a
new idea or innovation. You can help a coworker do his or her job
better or learn a new skill that you can use for the rest of your
life.
It all comes down to initiative, that is, taking action to get
some thing done at work without waiting for your boss to tell you
what to do or when and how to do it.
SEEING THE BIG PICTURE
To be able to take initiative in your job you first need to see
how you and your position relate to the larger scheme of things at
work. In most jobs this role is not explicitly explained, so you need
to investigate how you fit into your organization's overall
operation. Ask yourself:
Why was my job created? Most jobs are created to help with some
pressing need of the organization: better or faster service, lower
costs, fewer problems, improved opportunities. If you can understand
the initial needs for your position, you will be better able to
consistently address these needs--and go beyond them.
How does my job relate to others in the organization?Whom do you
interact with everyday? Whom do you support, and who are the people
who support you? How can you make your manager's job easier?
Questions like these help you to see the contribution you make in
your position--and how you can expand it.
What opportunities to contribute to the organization exist in my
job? Every job provides unique opportunities for the employee who
looks for them.Consider the problems in your department. What part do
you play in the process? What areas of operation do you get to
observe? Knowing how you contribute to your organization can give you
the leverage to do even more to help.
How is my job linked to the organization's objectives?By defining
your position in terms of the goals and objectives of the
organizations, you can increase your worth to it. How does your
position impact the mission of the organization? How does the
customer benefit from the job you do? How does the organization make
or save money based on your performance? Once you see your role in
the big picture, you are better able to take the initiative to do
those things that can best help.
