Workplace inspirational: 10 fatal mistakes you are making

Workplace inspirational: 10 fatal mistakes you are making. <br /> This article is not a quantitative survey report, but rather a one-to-one in-depth contact with customers during the career planning consultation process. Responding to the inner thoughts of the professionals, it is a more comprehensive qualitative summary. The errors listed in the article may be more than 90% of people facing. Perhaps for most people, these problems seem to be commonplace and commonplace, and are ignored by most people. However, after a lot of real-life case studies, we find that it is these common mistakes that are likely to become fatal errors that affect your career development and even change your life.
Mistake 1: Don't worry now, if you encounter problems later, many people have just stepped into the society and have not really realized the existence of the crisis; or the current work is relatively stable, although they don't know what the future looks like, but at least the current work can support the family. Life, at least to ensure that there is no problem with survival. They don't know what they should be after five years, and they don't think deeply, because it is very tired. At least the current job will make me feel very stable this year. As for the next year, they have not considered it at all. They always feel that young people should be enjoying their time, so that they will not live up to their good times. Even if they have problems now, they always say: Don't worry now, let's talk about problems later.
I have encountered such a case: a 35-year-old man who has worked for 12 years, has a wife, has children, and the only thing that is not, is a stable job. In the past 12 years, the average job has been changed in less than one year. Now that I am older, my family’s responsibilities are also great. I want to find a job that will be stable for a long time, but it is difficult to find. I asked him why not consider this question earlier? He said that at that time, he was young and ignorant. Now that he realized it, he found that he was in trouble and deeply regretted that he had not planned earlier.
Are you having problems now? Are you consuming your youth in confusion and confusion? Compared with a year ago, was your year progressing, or is it repeating work? Is your current job suitable for you? Do you know your career path? Do you have a goal that can at least fight for 5 years? Do you know what it is like to grow up in a year, and what will it grow like in five years? Do you know how to achieve your goals? More deadly, do you still have the mentality of "saying later"? After reading this text, is your response to immediate action or repeat the current state?
If all the questions are waiting for "saying later", then I am sure that within a maximum of 5 years, you will encounter problems that can no longer be solved! To solve it, you have to pay the price of geometric multiplication!
Mistake 2: Some things have to be experienced personally before they know that some people will humbly absorb the experience and lessons of others, for fear that they have gone the wrong way; while others say that they have to make some mistakes personally, and they will wake up in person if they encounter some setbacks. . These people seem to be very powerful on the surface, willing to temper themselves and grow themselves in difficulties, but in fact they are subconsciously evading the mistakes they are experiencing and making, and they are unwilling to recognize and change the current reality. Such people have just used their own way, and they are willing to go their own way. They will not be able to listen to other people’s opinions, and they will often plant a lot of heads on the way forward.
Indeed, experiencing difficulties and setbacks will allow one to grow. But not all difficulties and setbacks you have to experience. If you can reasonably avoid it in advance, why do you have to try it yourself? I don't see the coffin without tears. And when you meet the coffin, it may not help to drop more tears.
For young people, “trial and error” is actually the most stupid way. Even if you think you are young, you still have a chance, but in fact time is not as much as you think. Take the example of working in Beijing. If you graduated from college and are 23 years old, you plan to buy a house at the age of 30 and get married. The house should not be too good, but in Beijing, at least 1 million. This is already the most conservative estimate in the case of skyrocketing housing prices. The down payment is 200,000, the decoration is 20,000, the home appliance is 20,000, the marriage is 30,000, and the other reserve funds are 30,000. This requires a total of 300,000. If you earn 100,000 a year, except for rent, living expenses, telephone bills, entertainment, etc., you can deposit 70,000 a year. Then, you need at least 4 years. But for newcomers in the workplace, without three years of experience, it is impossible to get an annual salary of 100,000. In this way, even if you don't take a detour, from graduation to marriage, you have to run at the same speed as a tight clockwork, and you are not allowed to have time to do nothing or take a detour. And if you are slightly discreet and take a detour of one or two years, then for you, once you buy a house, you will fall into the brink of bankruptcy.
If you still want to try and experience some mistakes that should be circumvented, then your career will pay more.
Mistake 3: When I have a problem, I have to do a career planning. Many people are thinking about career planning when they really don't see hope. Just like the example listed in the first error above. But what I want to tell you is: Career planning is not a life-saving straw when you have nowhere to go!
Because of successful career planning, the core is to help you find your career orientation and build your core competitiveness around this direction to ensure that you can grow in this direction. These two points are indispensable. If you just find a direction without considering the possibility that the direction is realized in real work, then such a plan has no meaning. In order to ensure the possibility of achieving a career direction, it is necessary to consider the influence of external objective factors. Family stress, age gaps, imbalances in mentality caused by unsatisfactory work, etc., all affect the best implementation of career planning. Just like a doctor seeing a doctor, if you are already ill, then a smart doctor may not have the power to return.
For the students in the school, establish the direction before the junior year, and then use the remaining time to build their own knowledge system. After graduation, you can find a job that suits you. For those who have already worked, they have been working for three years. Establishing its own direction, although it has to pay losses and costs, there is still the possibility of success. If work is unstable for three years or even longer, career planning is much more difficult at this time, not only because you have to bear bigger losses, but also pay higher opportunity costs, and at the same time, because of work. The serious mental imbalance caused by instability is the biggest obstacle to your professional growth. Take the average two-year detour as an example. After two years of transition, and others are on a starting line, this means that your previous work is basically wasted. If your monthly salary is 2,500, your direct material loss for two years is 60,000. This loss is at least 60-120 times that of your career plan. What you lose at the same time, there are two years of growth opportunities, this time can never be made up. At the same time, your mentality will become very negative and you will not be able to actively face new work. This loss cannot be estimated. More importantly, once you get used to being confused or accustomed to job-hopping, then this loss will be expanded to more than 200 times the career planning investment!
Many people who have worked for many years but still have no direction come to us for consultation. After evaluating their comprehensive situation, if I feel that I can't do anything and can't give them the help they should, I will say to them, "Sorry, we Can't solve your problem." Although there are not many such difficult problems, it is best for everyone to take the precautions. Be sure to plan early. Don't wait until you have nowhere to solve the problem. At that time, you may really have nowhere to go.
Mistake 4: Treating personality assessment as a career plan Once I chatted with a college student friend, I asked him if he had a career plan, he said. I asked you what your career goal is and how to achieve it. He said he didn't know. I am very puzzled, I said that you have not done professional planning yet? How do you know these questions? Then he sent me a bunch of information, and I saw all the various evaluation reports. I asked him where the reports were done, he said on the school's website. Can I understand the results of these reports? He said that he could not understand.
In the course of career planning consultation, such a situation has appeared more than once, especially in the group of college students. Whenever I encounter this situation, my heart is very tangled. Their understanding of career planning is only at the level of assessment, and they simply don't know what these assessments mean to them, and they don't know how to use them to guide their future career development.
Once I was judged in a career planning competition at a university in Beijing, I also encountered this situation. They also know that they analyze themselves according to the results of the assessment, but by the end of the planned career direction, most of the criteria are based on “professional counterparts” and have little to do with the results of the assessment. Although colleges and universities have already opened career planning courses, the real situation that I have learned is that almost no one in these courses listens carefully, but only when they take the exams, they take a credit and take credits. I will ask them, these courses will be of great help to your future employment and growth. Why not listen carefully? The answer is this: the teacher in this class is completely based on the textbook, and does not understand what the real workplace looks like, let alone the effective guidance and operation of the theory in the book in the real workplace. The class has also become a display. Therefore, the confusion is still confused, the confusion is still confused.
Since the career planning that everyone is exposed to at the university is just a variety of assessment tools, it is taken for granted to equate career planning with personality assessment. From an objective point of view, many people simply do not understand the results of the assessment due to lack of experience in the workplace, social experience, and analytical skills. At the same time, this kind of evaluation type planning is also more serious in theory. The evaluation results are automatically generated by the computer. The results provided are the "common" things of a certain type of personality. I don't know how to combine the real situation of the workplace. Each person's "personality" is analyzed in a targeted manner. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that this is only a theoretical level of planning, and the actual combat is relatively poor.
What needs to be reminded here is: personality assessment, career planning. Many people think that doing a personality test is equivalent to doing a career plan. In fact, this is a very serious misunderstanding. Personality assessment is just a means for us to understand our personal character. When it comes to specific planning, it is necessary to make comprehensive considerations based on individual career vision, advantages, professional skills, growth experience, professional values, political factors, economic factors, social factors, etc., in order to draw concrete conclusions. This requires the consultant to understand your situation before making a judgment, rather than simply relying on the results of the assessment tool. Take the coaching career plan of the First Workplace Forum as an example. In addition to the basic evaluation, it only takes 3 hours to consult the interview. The longest time has reached 6 hours. The purpose is to comprehensively and deeply consult the consultant. Understand and verify the results of the assessment to provide a comprehensive and objective understanding of the true situation of the consultant. If you can't do this, then the effect of the consultation will be greatly reduced.
Mistake 5: Only direction, do not know the implementation path Since it has been clarified above that personality assessment is not equal to career planning, then what should be included in a complete career planning? Take the coaching career planning in the first workplace forum as an example. The complete content of career planning should be “1+2+1” mode, which is a core content, two supplementary contents, and one enhanced content. A core content refers to the targeted analysis based on its own comprehensive situation, tailored to establish the most suitable career orientation for its development. The two supplementary contents are to evaluate the comprehensive quality, to develop a career growth path, and to construct a corresponding knowledge system. Second, to address the weaknesses in their personalities and the ideas, actions, etc. that existed in previous work experiences. The mistakes in the aspect are corrected to avoid repeating the mistakes and to avoid the potential occupational risks caused by their own deficiencies. An enhanced content refers to the soft power series training based on career promotion, through the training of practical skills and methods, comprehensively enhance the individual's comprehensive competitiveness, and get a leap in professional development at a faster speed. Open the distance from ordinary people.
Many people have clear goals, but in the process of implementation, many problems will not be solved effectively, which will ultimately affect the implementation of career goals. From this perspective, we only determine the orientation of the career direction, and do not know the specific implementation path, especially in the process of implementation, which issues need to be directly faced, which issues need to be detoured, and will also affect your career development.
Establishing goals is only the first step in successful career planning, that is, the problem that “one core content” needs to solve; and whether this goal can be achieved depends on the effect of implementation and implementation, which is also “two supplementary contents”. And the meaning of "an enhanced content." If only the goal is established and the corresponding implementation path is not determined, then such a plan is only 50% successful. In particular, the content of the intensive part is also a place to test the level of a consultant. Those who understand the theory without practical experience can't do this.
Mistake 6: No opinion, relying heavily on the opinions of the people around you. Why do you want to take a postgraduate degree? Because everyone around you is taking a postgraduate degree. Why do you want to enter a state-owned enterprise? Because everyone said that state-owned enterprises are stable and well treated. Why are you not willing to change yourself? Because the people around you are just like you, in this state!
Many people also have their own ideas, but once their ideas are opposed or questioned by people around them, his thoughts will quickly disappear. Once, a customer came to ask me. He said that his family wanted him to be a teacher, but he asked people around him. Some people said that teachers are good, while others said that when teachers have no future, it is better to enter the enterprise. . He is also confused himself, not knowing whether he is a teacher.
Everyone's values ​​are different. Therefore, when you ask for opinions from others, they only think about problems based on their own values, not on your position. Therefore, whether someone else's opinion is right for you depends on your own inner thoughts. The same is true for this example. People who like stability will definitely say that being a teacher is a good choice, and those who like to challenge will definitely say that the teacher has no future.
Everyone has 250 friends. They appear on two occasions. One is your wedding and the other is a funeral. 80% of these friends are not helpful to you. They usually don’t give you positive and positive influence. When you are eager to do anything, they usually pour you cold water, telling you all kinds of bad things and the possibility of failure. 20% of friends, they are more positive, will give you a positive impact, and only 5% of them will help you, a major change in your life! So, you shouldn't treat your friends equally. You should spend 80% of your time with those 5% of your friends who will have a major impact on your life.
How is your path going, only you are responsible. Those who have given you advice, even if they prove that their advice is wrong several years later, do not have to take any responsibility for the original proposal. You must understand that your path is only in your own hands!
Mistake 7: The plan can't keep up with the change. It's not as good as it is. Many people will say that the world is changing, and it is better to follow the plan than to deliberately plan. People who seem to say this are very "quick", but once the problem comes to the front, I am afraid that you will be "safe". First, if you don't have "roots", you can only float around and never live very solidly. Second, because you don't have "roots", you can't build your foundation for growth, and on this basis. Build your core competitiveness, so the profession can never grow. Third, just because you are comfortable with the situation, the foundation is not strong, even if you encounter a little "wind" insurance, you will not be able to stand because you do not have any ability to resist risks. Look at those who have been laid off in the financial crisis. If you have not built any ability to adapt to competition and fight risks, then when the next crisis comes, you will be vulnerable, the first one The next one is you! I am afraid that the situation at that time will not be as "cheerful" as you said today.
When you are in trouble, it is because your heart is escaping from reality; to act positively and build your own core competitiveness, you can also do the same thing!
Mistake 8: High education means more development opportunities. People with higher education will definitely have better development space? not necessarily! Among all the consulting clients I have contacted, the most active is the undergraduate group. And those graduate students do not even have the most basic sense of competition. Many people are fascinated by "being" postgraduate entrance examinations. They simply don't know what the true purpose of the postgraduate entrance examination is, and they never even thought about it. There are also a large number of people who can't get into the favorite profession, and are adjusted to the direction they don't like. Only 24% of those who have a clear goal of graduate school and are part of their career planning and who are actively involved in action. A client I have been consulting recently, if you don't take a postgraduate degree, his development will be better. The confusion after the graduate study, coupled with the two-year detour of the goal is not clear, the loss is 180 times the investment in career planning!
Not all positions require highly educated people. Those so-called highly educated talents, in fact, did not match the academic qualifications. When more and more companies are considering pragmatic employment costs, high education may not be taken seriously.
Education does not guarantee your success. It is just a piece of paper. What really makes you successful is whether you really have a real education. If not, sorry, all companies are not charities.
Mistake 9: The national unit is relatively stable, and the vast majority of people with development guarantees will have this understanding. I have met a customer, worked for ten years, and finally got a high salary and met a promotion opportunity. With his ability and performance in the unit, he confidently thought he would get this opportunity, but unfortunately, he was defeated by a person who was not capable. The opportunity to wait for ten years to come, so I watched and slipped away, so I resigned and swear to do it again. Remind those who want to enter the national unit. Before entering these units, you must understand what “compilation” means, what is the difference between “inside the system” and “outside the system”. What is the difference between “Li Gang”? If you are eager to stabilize, I will tell you: You will be very stable, stable until 10, 20 or even a lifetime, and there will be no change at one level. If you are eager for this so-called "stability" and there is no complaint, then I fully support your decision.
Mistake 10: In this society, it is difficult to succeed if it is too difficult to succeed. Totally wrong! Especially in the current environment, I am even more excited, because this is the easiest era of success! In the real workplace, occupational problems encountered within 3 years of work, accounting for 77%, belong to the “hardest hit” of career planning. Really knowing your career development goals, and knowing how to act, comprehensively improve and develop yourself, only 3% of the problems that are not plagued by career planning problems. In other words, if you have a complete career plan and are willing to act towards the goal, 97% of the people are not your opponents, you can completely ignore their existence. The remaining 3%, you don't have to be afraid at all, because Chinese companies have enough space and opportunities to fully allow you to share with these 3%. So, since success is so easy, why are there so many people failing? Because the most powerful opponent is actually yourself! If you don't have a sense of foresight, just look at your eyes and never think about the future; or just stay on the level of “think about it” and never really act, then you will never be able to defeat this opponent! Your current failure state will continue! Success will never be with you!
who are you? Where are you from? where do you want to go? How to go in the future? Who is responsible for the family? Do you want to succeed by your own efforts, or do you want to be a member of the "old" or "ant"? Success and failure, how do you choose? Why do you guarantee success? Are you ready for positive action? When is the action, now, immediately, immediately; still want to be alive, comfortable, wait, "I will talk later?"
Your current choice determines your future growth. If you regret now, then your previous path must be wrong; if you don't want to regret it, then from now on, you must take every step carefully and don't live in vain! Otherwise, you will definitely be the one who failed the most!
