Professional Success, How to keep getting promotions & out of turn increments!
Fact Checks:
A) As long as one can understand, believe & accept that they are nowhere in a position to become an investor & that they have no other option than to work as an professional, then know that you have to work for some else & that the very investor is going to remain above you in terms of capabilities of taking risk & thereby adding more to their experience & knowledge.
B) So no matter what any situation may look like from your end & perspective, the investor that is one working for has not only the fundamental right to make every right & wrong decision, but the investors are also well placed to accept the outcome of their choices & decisions.
C) One is hired to do a specific job without being reminded of it & need to follow it up, hence they must do that, take that pay cheque, go home & enjoy the freedom, while business losses, profits & risks are not on your shoulders.
D) Every other professional working alongside you has their rights reserved to think, act & perform to their satisfaction, you are in no way compelled to compete or level up.
Basics of a Professional
A) While leaving for work everyday, pack your self respect, ego/pride, beliefs & opinions inside a suitcase & lock it in a corner of the store room of the house.
B) You are always replaceable, so remember that even if you think that you are earning a low pay & that you are doing more than your pay, no one has asked for it, so don't think & act stupidly, & two for every investor there is always someone out there waiting & begging for a job with a much lower pay than yours & willing to do more than what you have & can.
C) You have the right to remain quiet, deliver on your deliverables without failing & secure your pay for that very month.
D) You can be asked to leave, sacked or terminated at any point in time, so far you have collected your pay cheques regularly, all that you may have done has already been paid off & compensated, so don't remain in any delusion.
E) Your investors are the one paying you the pay cheque for the work that you have to do, so do not take their investment in you to go and invest in impressing other people around at your workplace, as that would be the most stupid thing to ever venture into.
F) Besides, be punctual at work, dependable on your tasks, keep learning on the job & carry out your responsibilities unflinchingly.
Coming to the Success Mantra on how to keep getting Promotions & Increments:
A) "Yes Sir/Madam" is the only mantra for professionals to not only keep their job but it may also get one good promotion & increments.
B) Yet one does not have to keep being that yes minister in a dumb way, be smart & creative in positioning your affirmations in front of the investors, as long as they are in line with what the investor is thinking & willing to hear you are going to keep doing well.
C) With your on the job learning & experience, you might be getting a good start off on the subject matters but then you must not become over confident to think & act ahead of the investors. And do not mis quote a yes minister as a go getter, they are world apart, any go getter will have to do more than what is expected by their investors, but a yes minister may have to do only that what their investors are expecting them to do.
D) Even if you know better & have all the statistics & analysis at hand, do not throw it on the face of the investor, let it all sink in & be demanded, wait till you are being requested to share your experience & understanding before you bring it all out.
E) Master your facial expressions to look affirmative at all the given times, especially to the investors.
F) Don't try to get even with other Yes ministers around you, be an Unique Yes minister in your own way.
G) Do not overdo the buttering, it may diminish your value & you may lose your importance over a period of time, be that yes minister but only whenever you are asked for it, rest of the time focus & enjoy your freedom & job security that will come along with your commitment as a yes minister.
H) Compare yourself with those around who are sincere, dedicated, loyal, hardworking & they think that they are working with utmost integrity & might even be the most valuable, but yet they won't get any promotions & increments as they are used to present the facts & truths irrespective of how it may hurt the emotions of the investors, take pride in your positioning & growth when compared to them as you are not one of them who lives their truth at the cost of their own downfalls for speaking that what the investors do not want to hear.
I) Once you have established yourself as an Yes Minister you are automatically entitled to run as many as side businesses you may want to add to your source of income, that is within the organization as well as outside the organization, just make sure that you don't make it too obvious, as the investors are going to overlook your little mischiefs.
J) Along the line you may also see that other Yes ministers are growing & flourishing, do not get intimidated or envy them, pay attention to their ways of nodding & try to be a quick learner, add those skills to your set of expertise & you will become better.
K) Don't keep yourself to yourself, be that approachable individual who has the heart & mind to hear out anyone & everyone, but make sure you only offer that listening ear & nothing else, do not react or over emphasis on any thing regarding the Organization, but be vocal & out spoken about all & every concerns that are out of yours & their circle of influence, general politics, climate change, AI, stock markets & so on.
L) Do not Unmask anyone, for your own sanity, peace of mind & to avoid any kind of uncertainties, keep this very principle in your personal as well as professional life, no matter whatever you may have known, learned & experienced about someone, never ever say it or share it, let everyone have their experience & understanding about such individuals on their own, as long as you do not pull of masks of other people around your own mask is likely going to remain safe.
M) Do not get over confident about your placement in the system as you may keep growing & jumping ranks for being that fluent Yes minister, remain grounded as you may have many around that won't appreciate & like you, when you start becoming successful & are now less popular do not fall victim by trying to become a leader of oppressed. Let everyone pick their own consequences of their actions & choices.
N) Respect the ranks of other Yes Ministers in the system, everyone is as permanent as you are, but their ranks may be as temporary as yours.
While in the physical world the fittest have survived, but in the professional world only the spineless have ever flourished & grown exponentially, the one who can keep a smile on their face & nod with bright shining eyes have already arrived.
