Improve learning agility and promote career development
In the traditional career ladder model, the direction is clear, and most of the time you only need to continue learning in one direction. After your thinking model changes to a career grid, the direction will easily become unclear, and your current abilities may not be applicable next time. Therefore, learning agility becomes crucial.
Develop a growth mindset
fixed mindset
People with a fixed mindset believe that talent and intelligence are static and innate. They see success as proof of their inherent abilities and failure as a sign of insufficient talent.
growth mindset
People with a growth mindset believe that people can improve their abilities through self-awareness, hard work, and help from others. They will not pay attention to apparent intelligence and talent. Instead, they will focus on learning and accept occasional failures as successes. part of the truth
Everyone is a hybrid of both mindsets, and learning agility requires that we make a conscious effort to shift to a growth mindset when we realize we are thinking using a fixed mindset.
Recognize when you are avoiding a challenge
Understand that when you are afraid of embarrassing yourself or failing, you are stuck in a fixed mindset.
Realize that there are choices
You can be intimidated by problems, or you can view challenges as learning opportunities and need to change your mindset.
Talk to your heart
Don’t communicate with yourself in a negative way, you need to talk to yourself in a positive way (keep encouraging yourself)
Deliberately shift to a growth mindset
Take on challenges, seek feedback and learn from setbacks
Practice learning agility
Some ways to practice and learn agility
Pursue personal interests and satisfy your own curiosity
Build a diverse thinking network
When faced with a challenge, don’t automatically adopt the first solution
Resisting the instinct to be defensive and respond to critical feedback
Accept that you will resist and make mistakes
Learn from failures and successes, learn to review and think over and over again
Will you consider various solutions?
Will you take risks wisely?
Have you made appropriate adjustments as you continue to learn?
Have you grasped the balance between analysis needs and processing needs?
Is the current situation the optimal solution? How can it be done better?
How can we better apply what we have learned to our work, consider the future, and promote career development?
Four Mental Skills (ANEW)
Aspiration
You need to have lofty ambitions, which are the core that drives your own learning.
Neutral self-awareness
When facing learning challenges, clearly understand where to start. Usually our self-perception is not accurate enough. We think we are proficient in things we are not good at, but we feel that we are not proficient in things we are really good at.
Endless curiosity
You need to maintain your curiosity and sensitivity to new things
Willingness to be bad first
Long-term thinking, willing to ask for advice humbly like a novice at the beginning of learning, willing to slow down and move forward in a down-to-earth manner
Use work shaping
task shaping
Optimize time allocation and prioritization of things, and apply more time to tasks with higher learning reports
relationship shaping
Changing patterns of human interaction to allow learning to occur by working with people with different perspectives or skills
cognitive shaping
Adjust work arrangements, highlight learning goals, strengthen your heart and continue to work hard for big goals
looking for opportunities
Adhere to long-termism
Look to the future
Make it a priority to learn about opportunities offered by the company and start researching them
Structural thinking, collecting information through interviews
Which departments or business areas of the company have good development momentum?
What suitable development opportunities are available for me in other markets, locations and countries?
What deep-rooted problems does the company face that I can solve?
What opportunities were discovered?
How to select the most suitable ones?
How important is the position to the organization?
What are the development opportunities after assuming the new position?
Are you ready to make some necessary sacrifices?
How to execute?
Go to new position
Make a good handover and make practical suggestions for the subsequent transition, including people and things.
You need to be prepared to learn the new position, and you can also communicate with the new leader to see which skills need to be prepared in advance.
Change in current position
This is also a very common scenario. The core here is change. If you know the development direction you want, you should try your best to move in that direction in your current position.
Look for opportunities outside the company
When should you consider looking outside your company for opportunities?
There is a mismatch between your main interests and the work the employer can offer you
Your job is at risk due to market volatility
Your position does not provide a sustainable development path, and some jobs have little room for growth.
Changes in your personal life make you not suitable for your current company
You can make full use of your personal network to obtain information and find job opportunities. You can also further filter and aggregate information through your personal network, and finally find a new job that you are satisfied with.
overcoming career setbacks
"Task Mindset" work is not permanent, it is just a step in a long journey
Develop your network and skills over the long term
Work is only temporary, but personal career development is long-term, so you need to develop your network and skills over the long term.
Avoid falling into emotional traps
When we get along with colleagues day and night every day, it is easy to treat everyone as family, which adds a lot of ties during changes. But the working relationship is only one of many relationships. When there are better development opportunities, everyone should actively seek better opportunities. The working relationship can also be transformed into a life relationship.
Make sure you aim high
Work is not everything, and it cannot judge whether life is successful or not. You need to make a good judgment between life and work, and pursue what you want in your heart.
Overcome career setbacks
Getting out of the core stage of frustration
self-emotion
cheer up mentally
Give yourself some time to calm down
Change the way you think about negative issues
Set yourself a “negative time period”
Try to see the event or decision from the company's perspective
See failure as the beginning rather than the end
Get back on your feet
face the reality
Conduct a financial assessment
Decide which battles to fight
Expand contact area
reach out to others
Use network members to get closer to other people’s networks
rediscover mission
Focus on the future
stay focused
Rebuilding reputation
Prepare a short statement focusing on your shining points
Focus on your strengths
Pay attention to your online image
Let supporters help rebuild professional reputation
Get out of career dilemma
Career setbacks are often relatively large events and relatively passive, such as layoffs, which are relatively rare in daily life. In daily work, we encounter more professional difficulties. Career difficulties will have some obvious manifestations: the current position prevents you from learning, growing, and devoting yourself to it, and this lasts for a long time. When encountering career difficulties, you should first face the problem squarely, because this is a very common situation. Secondly, you need to refer to the content in the "Looking for Opportunities" section to find new opportunities for yourself.
