Process Tip - How to succeed in the corporate world

 

Be like the professionals, just don't shoot anyone, OK?

What a blatantly obvious tip, right? It’s so simple to create a good impression by being professional – but even in today’s organisation there are so many people that can’t get this basic premise right. Here’s how you do it:

• Turn up on time – meetings, calls, coffee – whatever it is - make sure that you  aren’t just on time, but that you are EARLY

• Look the part (see episode 15)

• Do as you’re told

• Don’t complain – by all means do something about it (but no-one likes a whinger)

• Respond politely to EVERY call, message, e-mail, etc. where you have been asked to do something

• Don’t ever shout, scream or abuse anyone - ever

• Thank everyone who helps you

• Thank people who don’t help you even more

• Do every task or job to the absolute best of your ability (no matter how crappy you think it is) – you will soon rise above the mediocrity, or even better…

• Do more than you’re asked. You will be much loved.
