How to make your potential visible
Showing your boss that you have potential is essential whether you want to climb up the ladder to senior management or be picked for interesting projects. Naturally, being competent at your current job is a starting point, but it takes more than that to advance. Tips to show your potential to your leadership at the begin of your career as well as when you are already well established.
Knowing (and Listing) Your Priorities
What do you truly desire above all else? What are the things in your life which you absolutely must spend time doing? What people do you always want to be around? The answers to those questions and others will reveal what you should be prioritizing as important in your life. Get 2 separate sheets of paper. On the top of one write "Work Priorities", and your second sheet should be labeled "Personal Priorities". Now take a look at your lists. Regarding each item in turn, place it above or below the other items on your list, with your most important priorities at the top. Over time these priorities may change, so you want to practice this exercise once a year.
