Or maybe not. At least try to be more tolerant. You have a brand. You believe in specific values. You question new stuff based on logic and your life experience. They ALL believe marijuana should be decriminalized and they ALL believe unlimited immigrants should be allowed in the country.
Even if our views are different, maybe we should try to be more tolerant of the view that is degrees out of phase with our own. Maybe not. The Annuity Comeback. Organizational life In business, the relevance challenge is to continue to offer products, services and experiences that people find useful as their needs, wants and desires change over time.
Personal life For an individual, being relevant means meeting the needs of family, friends, employers and society as one ages. We repel others rather than attract them. Empathize with them. Become the person. Did they just get chewed out by their boss? Are they feeling stuck in their career? Are they having difficulties with a teenage child? A strong network is very important and it confers many benefits.
Most great, historical movements began with a small core. Jesus needed only 12 disciples—not thousands of fair-weather friends—and these were enough to spread his word and eventually create over two billion adherents. The anti-slavery movements in the 19th century and the civil rights movement in the 20th century were all initially propelled by a small, inner circle of loyalists. Ask yourself: Who will go out of their way to endorse you and introduce you to their network? Who will drop what they are doing and help you when you are in need?
For these things, you need a handful of great relationships—between ten and twenty. Do you know a small group of people who will walk through a wall for you? Perhaps more importantly, are you willing to put yourself on the line for them? Have you given them your unwavering loyalty? Have you invested in making them successful?
Make sure you have loyalists, not just acquaintances. Go and do likewise. Never be afraid to stand on the shoulders of giants. If somebody else has developed a strategy that has led to success, there is no reason why you cannot mimic that strategy and be successful yourself.
Looking at the strong impact of social media, it is observed by McKinsey Global Institute that 72 percent of companies are having strong social presence and is even expecting every employee to stay relevant in social networks.
Social media is a great way to stay in touch with clients and customers. It allows users to express concerns, ask questions, and even praise you for great work.
With that in mind, make sure that you have a visible and professionally active presence on social media and keep your social profiles updated. That will also help keep your name in front of prospects. With companies encouraging BYOD in the Workplace , has increased the chances of employees to stay socially relevant.
Instead, discover your natural aptitude and excel in that discipline. Look to job boards to find what the most sought after skills are and develop them in yourself. Use your specialized skills to help your company achieve greater things. Build a reputation for yourself in your own company as a doer and problem solver. Communication skills are still imperative in the globalized workplace environment. With workforce distributed across the globe, one may have to work with people of different cultural backgrounds.
