Need a strategy to help your career? Well, this is a simple one, with little downside:
Work really hard, and be nice to people.
It’s something I try to implement. I’m not perfect with it, but I keep trying.
We face a lot of frustrating situations on a daily basis. Sometimes it’s easier to give up or mail it in, and other times it’s easy to spit out some snide remark to someone, or worse still, through them under the bus.
It’s much more difficult to double down and plow through something no one expects you to, or to react with ‘niceness’ when someone piles on. But that’s just the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Take it.
You can certainly do one with out the other, but combining these two tactics is what will make you exceptional. Or, as Seth Godin might say, a “Linchpin.”
Hard work is rewarded, and nice people get the chance to do more hard work.
