How to be an Exceptional Performer in your Job

Being a performer is a result of continued dedication and devotion towards your work, and how you approach it. It always is the result of your attitude and your mindset with which you carry out your assigned tasks. 

Let’s have a look at some of the ways we can bring out the best performance in us.

Doing more than expected

What we observe in people is, they are not willing to do more. The conformist mindset that they have, hinders their motivation to work, as well as affects their career prospects. 

By doing more, you create additional value for yourself. In the process, you’ll also learn new things that make you stand out from others. By carrying out additional tasks, you’ll always shine in-front of your superiors. 

Being Pro-active

After finishing your assigned task, don’t just wait for further instruction on your next one. You need to pro-actively initiate it and give it a head-start. Ask suggestions, submit ideas and present observations. These guarantee the elevation of the impression your boss has on you. 

Imagine yourself in the company owner’s shoes 

This visualization exercise will drive you to be fully committed to your work. You will make the decisions, keeping in mind what’s best for the company’s growth. 

Sharing your knowledge with others

Most people are selfish when it comes to sharing their gained knowledge. They are insecure about making others more valuable in the organization. With hoarding the essential knowledge, you won’t be able to prosper, neither will your organization.

One important role that will impact your career progression is your role as a coach and mentor to your subordinates. If you lack your ability to transfer knowledge, you won’t be given greater responsibility to lead.

Don’t challenge your boss

Don’t be a yes man, at the same time don’t intimidate your boss by directly challenging him. Be professional when disagreeing with your boss.
