Relationships
have become an increasingly critical asset in today’s
information and service economy. Not only do our relationships
help us complete our day-to-day tasks with colleagues, vendors,
customers and competitors, these relationships will be the
source of information about how industries are evolving. We
also have relationships outside of our work environments that
may encompass our hobbies, family, religious or community
networks. How we interact, respond and connect in all our
relationships will impact our present performance and future
opportunities. Keeping connected and having the know-how to
develop good relationships are more important than ever before.
Visualising and planning are also important in making informed
business decisions and setting goals. The career vision we
establish should be broad enough to be flexible, but specific
enough to put in place. This career vision, based on a set
of personal traits, guides our choices as to how we will achieve
job satisfaction and how we will contribute in the workplace.
To remain adaptable and employable, regularly establishing
learning goals and nurturing our relationships are the keys
to productive career management. |
