4 steps to better position

Such as when work first seeks to achieve a promotion must have a good deal of patience and constancy.

 Those, however, are not the only requirements that facilitate promotion. Reaching this goal involves, start, be prepared for a life process: change.

The person has to ask, for example, has such powers or should incorporate; if you are willing to transform their current way of working ,  and should define how to cleave new contacts to meet the target, says Leticia Perez, guidance counselor at UNAM.

 Mexico is the second highest mobility, ie, with a high percentage of people who want a job change, according to international human resources firm  Randstad .Such work orders, may be noted the desire for a head or be placed in another position (not all changes in business are rising).

 Whatever the decision, when you have in mind to take that 'leap' work, you have to make something clear: progress for professional development are personal, do not correspond to the organization, says José Raúl Guerrero, director of specialist consultant talent management, Korn Ferry Mexico.

 "There is a huge debate (in this issue). A business concern is how to help them grow their talent." But this indicator is not the responsibility of the company ,  this type of development up to the individual, who must worry about getting new skills and know each other very well, details Guerrero.

What other steps are necessary to have greater projection in labor? Search Review of chiefs and identify areas of opportunity, are part of a list of four steps that help to define that role, according to the director of Korn Ferry Mexico.

 1 Position yourself on what you want

 Many times the person does not "self knows how that would have to know, and that's where comes great career derailment."

To achieve a better understanding of how you professionally  and where you can move, the first step is to overcome the fears and ask how I'm doing my job well ?, attitude is the correct ?, can grow in other places? This exercise is done individually, and in consultation with chiefs and acquaintances.

 "If one assumes that is perfect and no areas of opportunity is at the first road to failure and stagnation of professional development," says José Guerrero.  should be seeking continuous feedback to discover things that are done in correct form and why not. Sometimes "we do not realize if we are good or bad in some way, we assume that we are good, but when questions may discover that some activity is not your forte."

2 Generate differentiation. 

 It was the view, there are certain skills that are vital to an executive, one of them is  abitur learning , or learning ability.  As professional, companies value you're always on the "hunt" for new items and do not stay in the area of  comfort . For example, if you aspire to one direction but you're not good at developing teamwork and communicate, avoid waiting for a third party you remember the importance of training in those skills; must be done through individual initiative.

3 Where are your disadvantages?

 Part of developing self-knowledge involves identifying areas unless you like them, and so would like to know what does not work or play.

 For example, a prospective employer should know "if it's good or not managing people." If you're not, then do not get involved much in that aspect, you can support someone else in the field, in both you will focus on your strengths.

Here, the suggestion is: do not endeavor to do something that, first, you find unattractive or not know in full. Even if you have the intention, perhaps the results are not favorable, it is convenient to exploit the strengths.

 4 Invest 'wisely' in your training

 "If you had $ 100, how would you use for the development of the people?". That is a question that Korn Ferry of Mexico has raised its clients. What organizations typically do, according to the interviewee, is to occupy 90% of courses, workshops, classroom training in general. "This is the first major paradigm must be broken, the best training is on the job, more work needs to be done there."

 For the specialist there is a 'secret recipe' in this issue, but it would be best that the person be trained following this rule. 70% at work, 30% mentoring to 10% classroom  "If you know that you are not good in finance, a course it will help, but if you do not live, if you're not doing, forget. "

The best way to develop a timely competition is in the workplace, and this should consider when planning your training. Looking, first, generate new skills from office projects that require you to learn something new, and that can be supplemented with an academic background.

 You should try to be part of new ideas in the office, and if the company is not proactive in this area, the option is to resort to external courses, but always looking to take it to the learned professional field.

 For José Raúl Guerrero, the desire to "reinvent and lose the fear of change" can be challenged in a professional characteristics that underpin its intended career path.

 Employers added, want for their strategic positions interested in continuously improving, knowing accommodate different situations, handle conflict wisely and are not satisfied with the  status quo . "We must challenge, try to break barriers, reintroduce new trends, and even feel comfortable with complexity."
