How to improve the core competitiveness of the workplace

The core competitiveness of the workplace mainly includes three aspects: first, accurate career orientation, second, comprehensive ability and resources, and third, super execution. The core competitiveness created by integrating these three elements aims to enhance the competitive advantage of individuals, make others irreplaceable, and realize career development. Once you have a strong core competitiveness, when faced with the risk of layoffs and various career crises, you will have the capital to actively choose or "choose a good tree to live", and your career will not have a major survival crisis because of changes in career opportunities.

Accurate career orientation

Li Xue, 32, majoring in advertising planning in a famous university, is an employee of an advertising company and has been lying in the trough for 8 years.

In the eyes of my colleagues, my education, qualifications and ability are outstanding. I am not only good at planning cases, but also proficient in financial knowledge. My boss often asks me to help with some important public relations activities. I thought the long-vacant position of department manager belonged to me, but the boss sent airborne troops. The reason given to me is the lack of clear career orientation. In the boss's view, she thinks I can do planning, finance and public relations for big projects. So in his opinion, I am not the best candidate for the position of planning manager. I am puzzled by this result. Is it the boss's lack of core competitiveness in his eyes?

A person's career development is like a big tree. Too many lateral branches are likely to hinder the growth of the trunk of the tree, thus making the tree lose enough energy for upward growth. The same is true of career. If there are too many interests, knowledge and certificates, it will weaken the original core competitiveness and easily lead to the ambiguity of personal career goals. In the eyes of others, it is easy to feel that "I want to do everything, but I have no characteristics, or I can't do anything well." In fact, Li Xue's biggest mistake lies in her lack of clear career orientation and goals. She believes that those who can do more work have no guidance in the eyes of leaders and lack core competitiveness. Through the communication with experts, Li Xue further discovered her great potential of being good at communicating with people. Career planning experts also found in the interview that Li Xue has strong communication and expression skills, good affinity and quick thinking. She also said that she likes to communicate with people. Through value clarification, it is found that although Li Xue is majoring in advertising planning, she has always disliked it, so she turned to finance and marketing. Investigate your inner career aspirations and finally decide the marketing direction of being a key customer. Half a year has passed, and Li Xue, who has established the direction, has been transferred from the planning department to the marketing department to maintain the company's major customer channels. At present, she has been promoted to marketing manager, and she said that the next target is the marketing director.

Excellent comprehensive ability

Generally speaking, the comprehensive ability of professionals includes language expression ability, information processing ability, problem solving ability, interpersonal skills, organization and management ability, leadership ability, public speaking ability and so on. There is also the problem of resources, that is, the total amount of knowledge and information that individuals have mastered, the educational level they have achieved, and the personal passbook, that is, the social interpersonal relationship that individuals have. The richer the resources, the stronger the ability and the greater the individual's core competitiveness.

Miss Zhang, 29 years old, majoring in human resources in a well-known university, is the HRD of a joint venture, and has worked for 5 years.

I worked in this company for five years after I graduated from school, starting as a clerk assistant. Last year, because my previous HR left, I was promoted to HR manager from three applicants. When it comes to excellent comprehensive ability and resources, I think it seems easy, but it is not easy to truly show them incisively and vividly. The leaders and colleagues evaluated my promotion because I have good affinity, strong communication skills, smooth handling and resourcefulness. I can handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates, better grasp the interpersonal relationship of the company and give full play to my role. My former human resources manager was actually very professional in all aspects of human resources. Even though the PPT document of Zhou's work report is quite standard, his interpersonal relationship in the company is poor. More than 90% people in the same department always dislike him. Whenever there is a meeting, his suggestions or opinions are almost never adopted, even if it is beneficial to the company, it will seriously affect the normal work of the company. Finally, the boss had to let him report and leave.

As we all know, HR is mainly engaged in dealing with people, so the comprehensive ability and resources of HR are undoubtedly a very important part of its work ability. Strong affinity is like a big magnet, which can attract excellent talents to the company. Honest and trustworthy communication is like warm tea in winter, which can retain real talents. Quick response and flexibility, just like CPU processor, can solve many disputes and contradictions within the company. For an excellent HR, excellent comprehensive ability and resources are indispensable. Colleagues around you seem ordinary, but real human resources are often established from within the company, so good interpersonal relationships are also essential. As we all know, recruitment, training, assessment and other HR work can not be separated from the support and cooperation of other departments of the company, and all kinds of resources are needed, which requires excellent HR to have good organizational and coordination skills, especially cross-departmental communication skills, otherwise it will not only affect the work efficiency, but also affect the position of HR in other departments. A person's success in the workplace is often related to his business value, and the reference standard of business value is comprehensive ability, resources and talents besides academic ability and experience. Christine's ability to replace the former HR manager is inseparable from her high commercial value, so she can stand out in the enterprise and become a rapidly promoted workplace elite.

Super executive power

As the saying goes, "words must be done, and actions must be fruitful." Make yourself a master of time management, act immediately when you think about it, don't miss the opportunity, don't waste too much time, put in a lot of effective actions in the shortest time, finish the work well, take the initiative to share the work of your colleagues, solve the problems that plague your boss in time, and create the greatest wealth for the company. By creating irreplaceable abilities, I believe that your personal core competitiveness will continue to improve.

Yang Juan, a 26-year-old marketing major in a university, works as a sales supervisor in a clothing company. He worked 1 year.

When I graduated from college, I entered the present enterprise through my family connections. Because I am a newcomer, I lack work experience and experience, but I have one characteristic. I will go all out to finish any work assigned to me by my supervisor, no matter how difficult it is.

I remember that not long after I joined the company, the department always asked me to cooperate with my colleagues in the purchasing department to go to Yiwu to buy accessories and decorations for the models. After getting the work order, I drove to Yiwu with my colleagues in the purchasing department without much thought. Because I know that the purpose of arranging my collaborative procurement is to ensure a good style, I frequently run around major commercial squares after I arrived in Yiwu. Despite a busy day, leg pain, backache, hunger and drowsiness, three procurement tasks were still unfinished until 9 pm due to the tedious procurement work and price problems. Colleagues are going to drive back that night. Before I left, they asked me to go back to Shanghai together, but I didn't expect all the purchases to be completed, so I decided to stay one more day temporarily and call the department head to tell him my decision. The department always agrees. The next day, after nearly a day of running around, I successfully completed the procurement task and caught up with the company's exhibition layout as scheduled. Through this incident, the department has always praised me for my strong execution and the potential of excellent employees. Now a year has passed, and I have changed from a salesman to a sales supervisor. Not only that, but my salary has also increased several times. Colleagues said that it usually takes three years to go from salesman to supervisor, and I did it in one year. This rapid promotion is the first time in the company's history.

"If a person can go all out in any job, once he is allowed to engage in his favorite career, his multiplier effect will be immeasurable," said Yan Ling, a top employability expert. From Yang Juan's calm expression, we can easily see that it is different from ordinary people. What is executive power? Yang Juan's story is the best proof. If there are more excellent employees like Yang Juan in the enterprise, they can work hard after receiving the task and communicate with their superiors the difficulties they face and the resources they need to match and support. I believe the enterprise will be a different scene.

Core competitiveness is a sharp weapon for professionals to survive and an important basis for reflecting personal business value. No matter which company you work for or whether you are well-known, as a professional expert, you must be clear about your future development direction and career goals, constantly accumulate and improve your comprehensive ability, strengthen the cultivation of execution, and become an irreplaceable outstanding elite in a certain field.
