Creating a personal brand
Stand out in a company by creating a unique personal brand. Be yourself, remove the filter, and be honest about your strengths and weaknesses. Find ways to be memorable and make a positive impact by showcasing your capabilities and expertise.
Building a talent Rolodex
Build a network of talented individuals within the company who you would want to recruit in the future. Identify the most interesting and capable people and establish connections with them for potential future collaborations.
Confidence and effective communication
Demonstrate confidence in your ideas and opinions by asking intelligent questions and presenting well-reasoned arguments. Use effective communication techniques such as the McKinsey Pyramid principle and the what, why, so what framework to clearly convey your thoughts and proposals.
Stand out by solving paper cut problems
Identify and resolve small, nagging problems within the company that others may have overlooked. By addressing these paper cut issues, you will demonstrate your proactive approach and attention to detail, earning you recognition and appreciation.
Leverage the 5% rule to make a significant impact
Focus your efforts on solving problems and driving initiatives within the company that have the potential to make a significant impact, even if it's just a 5% improvement.
