Want To Become An Executive These Are The Traits Youll Need

Want To Become An Executive These Are The Traits You'll Need 32 The people who become executives often have common traits, as current executives explain. Read on to see if you have them. This a guest post by job search coach Rita Ashley. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Since it is my job to give advice to people regarding career development and job search I dabble in a bit of anecdotal research to find answers. My style is to get the information right from the horse's mouth: in this case, the executives who promote their direct reports (managers) to executive positions.eval Real executives tell which qualities they look for The first queries I sent out to my executive contacts resulted in this list of guidelines: Volunteer for more responsibilities Do what you can to stay visible Learn all you can Cooperate with other departments Deliver on your groups' charter Stay up to date on the market and your area of expertise My own advice is to be a good listener. Even if you can't accommodate other managers' priorities in your decisions, knowing you understand their needs goes a long way towards being considered as a good collaborator, which is a major plus in an executive.eval To give you an edge over other would-be execs, I asked some of the better managers I know to elaborate. EI, Senior Director, Technology EI is a senior director who manages a technology team of over 65 people from QA to Architecture. He watches how his direct reports manage their relationships with those who help define the products. Do they encourage their people to question, to push back, to challenge to ensure the instructions are clear and meaningful? This sort of management is key to EI because he knows the importance of the internal sell for any executive. He also places a high value on those direct reports who come to him with solutions rather than problems. In his eyes, anyone can whine or complain and point out problems, but only a true leader acknowledges and accepts challenges by proposing solutions for discussion. The proposal need not even be right; to EI it is the approach that defines the prospective executive from the manager. One of the toughest bars, in EI's opinion, is how the managers handle employees who are not producing. He watches how long it takes to manage out those who are not performing, and he monitors the manager's ability to convey and meet expectations with the team. Do they require games and incentives, or do managers employ positive reinforcement to motivate their troupes? Do they deliver what is expected in a timely manner? If not, is he informed of delays to allow him to plan accordingly? MS, Vice President MS is a Vice President with over 300 people in his department at a world-renowned Seattle-based company. His 9 direct reports are charted with succession planning and therefore the requirements for transitioning from manager to executive are perpetually on the table. The questions are always the same. Do managers convey the charter for the group, the mission for the department and the goals of the company? Does each individual understand their role in delivering on that mission? MS believes the most important factor to being a successful executive is being a successful manager. The first place he looks is the morale of the team being managed. He looks to see if each individual contributor knows what is expected. Is there a metric by which they can judge their own performance? And is there a clear and apparent consequence for not meeting those performance goals? On an administrative level, are reviews and status reports delivered on time? Do the manager's individual contributors feel their career development is a priority for their manager? When conflicts arise, is the manager able to diffuse any problems so they do not affect others, the schedules or the company image? MS will not promote managers who avoid confrontation, no matter how excellent their performance. He and his direct reports are sensitive to the attributes of the passive aggressive manager who avoids making the hard decisions. Other common questions Recurring issues mentioned by CEOs to Directors are: Can the manager make the sale? I.e., can they organize a presentation of what is needed or wanted and sell that to their own manager? And then sell it to their direct reports and get buy-in? When managers make decisions do they take into consideration the priorities and agendas of other departments and the company? And last, but certainly not least, how do managers implement ideas or plans with which they do not agree? Once they have had their say, are they able to back the idea and execute or do they sabotage, delay or complain? Conclusion While each executive has a different list of performance metrics they expect in order to consider promoting a manager, if you heed the guidelines above, you will no doubt get the attention of the people who will promote you. Perform like an executive to become an executive.

Prediction Introverts Will Soon Be in High Demand

Prediction Introverts Will Soon Be in High Demand So, you described that guy as an introvert. Thats kind of like a wallflower, right? Nope. Well, thats pretty much what Dictionary.com says. See? But experts like  Susan Cain, Lisa Petrilli, and  Marti Olsen Laney  offer a new definition for introvert. A better one, if you ask me. But maybe thats because these experts recently lifted a burden Id been carrying around for many years. They describe introverts as people who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying, and who generally prefer working on their own over brainstorming in teams. And based on what these experts are saying, we can write off the selfish-sounding second definition listed above, too.  Consider that introverts arent concerned primarily with their own thoughts and feelings, although they may  appear that way. Yes, introverts focus on thoughts and feelings, but its not necessarily limited to their own. As with extroverts, some introverts are task-oriented, others are people-oriented. And people-oriented introverts consider others thoughts and feelings, just like people-oriented extroverts do.  Maybe even more. [Theres a study mentioned later in this post with supporting data]. The Power of Introvertsat Work According to Cain, we dont need giant personalities to lead teams or build great companies. We need people who, instead of building their egos, want to create something to share with the world. And just because youre an introvert, that doesnt mean you dont have what it takes. Regardless of what that little voice inside your head might be saying. (Just tell him to shut up for a minute.) In fact, according to the famous study by management theorist and author Jim Collins (Good to Great, 2001 affiliate link), many of the best-performing companies of the late 20th century Kimberly-Clark, Coca-Cola, Intel, and Merck had unassuming leaders who were repeatedly described by their teams in these terms: quiet, humble, modest, reserved, shy, gracious, mild-mannered, self-effacing, understated. Now were talking. Cain, an introvert herself, publicly shares the impact of living in  a culture where being social and outgoing are often prized above all else. In her book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Cant Stop Talking [affiliate link], Cain reports that  it can be difficult, and sometimes feel shameful, to be an introvert in our society. No argument here. As she argues in this passionate TED talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world. She recommends they be encouraged and celebrated. And its not just Cain who is promoting this idea of introvert appreciation. Last Spring, Harvard Business Review posted the article,  How Introverts Can Become Better Innovators. The author, Francesca Gino, and her team of researchers held a lab  experiment in which they encouraged participants to adopt either a more introverted or extroverted behavior. They found that introverts listened carefully to the creative ideas suggested by others, helping others feel valued and motivated to do their work. By contrast, extroverts appeared to feel threatened by the innovative ideas proposed by others, appearing to be less receptive to those ideas. The article concludes with this exceptional advice for introverts (and Im not just saying that because its the same message we share  here and here and here. It really is good advice): 1. Reflect on your creative moments seek out an environment that triggers them. 2. Recognize the pros and cons of your own personality. 3. Try to adapt your personality to the context. Free At Last! Earlier in this post, I mentioned that by bringing these concepts to the mainstream, these experts have  lifted a burden that has affected me for many years. A burden that was built upon feelings that something was inherently wrong with me, because I did not fit into (what Cain calls) the Extrovert Ideal in our Culture of Personality. In fact, last January my DISC assessment placed me on the introverted side of the DISC wheel. And  I was extremely resistant to the concept. I actually told the career coach, Me? Im not introverted! I walk in the room and address the group. When everyone at the meeting is clearly uncomfortable, I lighten the moment and poke fun at myself. Im no introvert! My coach smiled. We patiently reviewed the assessment and eventually I became less resistant to the label. But I was still bothered by the fact that no matter what I did, no matter how hard I worked to adapt and appear like I should in order to fit in (enthusiastic, magnetic, dominant, fascinating, etc.), that I couldnt escape it. Im an introvert. So I when I discovered Cain and her fellow introvert fans along with their alternate view of what it means to be introverted  I couldnt believe my eyes. Or my heart. I was so thankful that someone understood these feelings. And that they could also identify with how these feelings had affected me throughout my career. This research and these publications have impacted me in a significant way.  Theyve given me permission to be myself most of the time. (As the scientists above recommend, sometimes you must adapt to get the results youre seeking). For example: when pressed for a decision by an extroverted teammate or even my boss I now comfortably say, Id like to consider that. Can I get back with you this afternoon? I can actually ask for what I need in order to perform at my best! Without experiencing ANY feelings of guilt or inadequacy when I do it. Its an amazing feeling. One that has significantly improved my happiness at work. And at home. One Valuable Gift Watching Cain impersonate her childhood summer camp counselor totally hit home for me. I, too, had avoided such childhood cheers as  R-O-W-D-I-E! Thats the way we spell rowdy! Rowdy! Lets get rowdy! As a kid, I loathed all such activities. So later that day, I had my 10-year old daughter watch Cains TED talk with me. When my daughter said, Shes kind of like me, Mom. Thats so cool! I got a bit teary. In fewer than 20 minutes Cain gave my daughter a gift. A gift with that has the potential to empower her to achieve things that Ive only just begun to dream about for myself. Thank you, Susan.

Build Your Personal Branding Timeline - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Build Your Personal Branding Timeline - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career When you make your decision to begin building your personal brand (what are you waiting for), it’s essential to first define what your goals are. This post will take a look at how to start at your end goal and then build a reverse time line to today. I like to call this exercise “ahead to dead”, because it really gives you an idea of what your goals are and how to reach them before you move on. Let’s get at it! Start at the end What is your ultimate goal for your career, life, and family? How do you want to be remembered in each of these areas? The answer to these questions may take some time to find, but I promise when you know what you want for your career, life, and family, you’ve got a great foundation. You’ve also done something most people never take the time to do. Really think about the following quote: “There are qualities one must possess to win â€" definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.” Napolean Hill Can you honestly say to yourself that you have definiteness or purpose, the knowledge of what you want, and a burning desire to achieve it? If you don’t, that’s okay â€" get started immediately by thinking about and writing down the answers to these questions. When you do, you will be on the way to both personal branding and personal success! What’s your reverse timeline Now that you know what the end looks like, start working your way backwards to today. Think of major accomplishments you would like to achieve, personal milestones you will reach, and the job you truly desire to have. This part is all up to your creativity and is completely about what you want for yourself â€" have fun with this part and don’t hold anything back! Really think about the following quote: “You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself.” Napolean Hill All the goals you have for your personal brand and yourself are completely up to you to achieve â€" nobody else. The magic is found when you know what these goals are and want them bad enough to keep fighting to achieve them no matter how many times you stare failure in the face or what people say or think about you. Just keep at it and keep going â€" that’s how winning is done. Start where you are begin taking action Now that you know what you want all that is left is for you to take action towards achieving your goal. Most people think everything needs to be perfect before they begin pursuing their goals â€" but the perfect scenario will rarely present itself. Just start where you are, with what you have and keep at it until you have what you want! And I will leave you with my favorite quote. It aint about how hard you hit. Its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward how much you can take and keep moving forward. Thats how winning is done. Now, if you know what youre worth, than go out and get what youre worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits.” Rocky Balboa Are you willing to take the hits?

4 Strategies You Need to Know for Working with Extroverts

4 Strategies You Need to Know for Working with Extroverts Good managers understand how to get the best out of their employees. They take the time to get to know their employees’ personalities and how those personalities affect the team dynamic.  For managers with extroverted employees, this means understanding where extroverts draw their energy from and how to direct that energy to help them achieve success. What’s the deal with extroverts? Extroverts draw their energy from interactions with the outside world. They enjoy working in large groups and are stimulated by interactions with the people around them. When it comes to things like group meetings, team lunches and brainstorming sessions, they are in their element. While these personality traits often help the Extravert succeed, they can clash with quieter, more reserved introverts on your team. As a manager, it’s your job to put extroverts in situations that will produce high levels of productivity and encourage a healthy team dynamic. Here are four strategies for helping your Extraverts succeed in the office: 1) Discuss the “dimmer switch”: Recent research by Oregon State University’s College of Business found that, when asked to work on a team project and then evaluate fellow team members, introverts evaluated extroverts more poorly than fellow introverted team members in almost every category. This highlights the struggle many managers have with keeping a team of extroverts and introverts working together. Have a discussion with your extroverted employees about the challenges their personality type creates for introverted employees. Make them aware of the difficulty introverts have with extended periods of highly stimulating interactions and suggest they try to implement what assistant professor and study co-author Keith Leavitt calls a “dimmer switch” when interacting with introverted employees. Extroverts tend to be high energy, which can tire out and rub introverted co-workers the wrong way. In order to avoid tension between the extroverts and introverts on your team, work with your extroverts to determine appropriate times to scale back their energy. By making extroverts aware that their energy style can actually be causing tension among the team, you are giving them a chance to pull back with the employees who may not embrace high energy discussions. In the end, this will keep your team running more efficiently and help your extroverts build better working relationships with their introverted peers. 2. Encourage solution-oriented discussion: Extroverts are passionate and enthusiastic about solving issues in the workplace, so encourage them to be. Provide ample time and space for extroverts in your office to discuss their ideas and brainstorm solutions. For example, if you’re holding a meeting, ask extroverts to share some of their ideas during the meeting, but hold onto others for after. After the meeting, hold a voluntary brainstorming session for 10-15 minutes to help your extroverts verbally process their ideas and bounce ideas back and forth with co-workers. The key here is to encourage extroverts to share their ideas with the team but keep them thinking about different solutions, as well. This strategy helps make meetings more efficient for everyone including introverts who often tire of hearing every idea in an extrovert’s head and encourages more in-depth, solution-oriented discussion. 3. Create “idea areas” for your extroverts: In a January 2014 review of the current open-office design trend, New Yorker author Maria Konnikova argues that open-office plans are detrimental to productivity in the office. Whether this is true or not, there is no denying that the opportunities for spontaneous discussion and idea sharing that open-office designs provide are key for putting your extroverts in a position to succeed. Whether you have an open office or a closed plan, designate “idea areas” where louder, more spirited debate can be held. This will encourage the kind of lively debate and idea-generating discussion that helps extroverts succeed. 4. Let them know you appreciate them: One of the best ways to help your extroverts succeed is to praise them when they do, because extroverts are always looking for stimulation from their surrounding environment. In fact, June 2013 research published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that extroverts weigh external motivational and reward cues more strongly than introverts. In other words, extraverts are stimulated by things like public praise and accolades. Focus on praising the steps your extroverts take toward success and keep negative feedback to a minimum in front of co-workers. By praising your extroverts, you are encouraging them to continue producing positive results in order to receive the stimulation they seek from their manager. This will result in increased productivity and more successful extroverts in your office. Understanding your employees’ personality types helps you make decisions about how to organize your team  and structure your office. Whether you have an office full of extroverts, or they are just a few in a sea of introverts, encourage the extroverts in your office to focus their considerable energy on building the kind of strong relationships that lead to healthier team dynamics and better individual success in the workplace. How do you help the extroverts in your office succeed? What other extrovert strategies do you have for building a stronger team dynamic?

How artificial intelligence will affect your future career - Debut

How artificial intelligence will affect your future career - Debut This article was written in collaboration with Gowling WLG. Gowling WLG is one of worlds largest law firms and advises clients from offices in many of the worlds most dynamic markets.   It was recently ranked as the second most innovative firm in Europe in the prestigious FT Innovative Lawyer Awards 2016.  Explore exclusive graduate and undergraduate opportunities at Gowling WLG  by downloading the Debut app.   The future is out there people. And its name might just be Alexa. Artificial intelligence (AI) is all the rage lately, inspiring a wide spectrum of reactions. Previous American President Barack Obama addressed automation and the threat of artificial intelligence causing job loss on multiple occasions. On the flip side, we get industry experts such as Alex White, who predicts that AI will become an indispensable business tool. Which one would it be? Gowling WLG  is one of Europes most innovative law firms, coming second in the prestigious FT Innovative Lawyer Awards 2016. Theyve been embracing artificial intelligence with open arms. According  to Derek Southall, Head of Innovation and Digital at Gowling, the firm has in fact, embraced AI as part of their overall strategy. What will artificial intelligence in the workplace look like? Lets take a look at whats likely: 1. AI wont replace lawyers, physicians or teachers theyll work alongside them To any of you currently reconsidering doing a vacation scheme or training contract, dont fret. Youre not going to have Mr. Robot donning a wig and going toe to toe with a prosecutor in court. Instead, AI will act as the ultimate weapon for people in these industries. For example, Ross, a legal research tool developed by IBM Watson, is capable of extracting facts and conclusions from over a billion documents a second. It can also feed you answers after youve asked a question (think Ask Jeeves style, for any old school kids out there.) The applications of this technology is vast. Imagine if Wikipedias Simple English function can be taken and ramped up 100%. This will allow professionals to understand and digest new, relevant information a lot faster. The best part? AI learns as it goes along, so itll get better and better at doing the job. 2. Customer service will be faster, more tailored and highly efficient Everybody knows that in order to get a companys attention when you need assistance, you go online. You either tweet @ them so they cant ignore you, or you just message them on their Facebook Page. (Take it from a social media manager those red notification flags are hard to ignore.) For customer or client-facing workers, dealing with the public just got a whole lot easier. Chatbots are actually fairly easy to build  and can not only save you time, but also provide the customer with a bespoke, personalised experience. As Evernotes CEO Phil Libin once said, Within a few years, bots will be in the fabric of everything. Chatbots will see a huge boom in use because theyre so user-friendly. The conversational interface means that you take something human (having a conversation), and the AI lets you do whatever you want. No generic dropdown menus necessary. Plus, if the customer has a  really serious problem and needs someone human to address it, the bot can just notify a real person on the team. 3. Personal assistants wont just be limited to top-level executives This almost sounds like the plot of the movie Her brought to life. AI assistants such as Amazon Echos Alexa will help you suss your life out, even when youre too tired after a long workday. Viv is one example of this. Its AI interface acts as your personal assistant simply speak a voice command and itll perform thousands of tasks and provide you with all sorts of options. Need to catch the Tube for a meeting but youre already late? Viv will not only give you directions, itll give you information about the next train, the optimum carriage to ride and how much itll all cost. As AI develops, these assistants will only get smarter and smarter. Youll no longer have to set yourself reminders your assistant will trawl through your incomplete tasks and do it for you. Itll also increase their frequency as it learns your work ethic over time. Productivity boost, unlocked. 4. Digital security will be the new war zone Data and information will become the new highest form of currency. As we navigate an uncertain world of whistleblowing and Wikileaks, privacy and security will become more prized than ever. We now know brute-force attacks are becoming more, well, brutal. Theyre able to crack sequential passwords in seconds. Therefore,  multi-layered, smart security will be the only way to combat this hacking onslaught. MIT have now created AI2, an artificial intelligence-based platform that can predict, detect and stop 85% of cyber attacks. That, combined with two-factor authentication and biometric security, will be likely to delay or even completely prevent cyber attacks on your companys data. 5.  Well be able to cross more global lines Heres something that might just blow your mind. One of the many flaws we have as a species is the fact that we dont share a common tongue. Miscommunication in the workplace can happen even when youre speaking the same language, let alone if you work in a multi-national firm that deals in multiple languages. AI can and will change all that. Googles Neural Machine Translation system utilises machine learning in order to improve Google Translate, an already widely popular service. It has gotten so smart, its invented its own artificial language in order to translate more efficiently. In a world that seems more divided than ever before, AI could be the answer to a more unified planet. Or, at least, itll help us speak to our colleagues in different timezones just a little easier.
