One of the most important skills you can learn is how to network effectively. Networking opens doors to a multitude of opportunities. You can learn all sorts of information about an organization or individual, without prying, once you develop a little skill and a good deal of tact. It can become one of your most important avenues to find new employment or to learn more about an industry, company, or key players within an organization. |

#4 Dealing with Bad Bosses
If you have concluded that your manager is not out to make your life miserable, but definitely lacking in managerial skills and will limit your growth potential in the company, you should develop a plan. First, I would suggest that you find someone you can trust for a reality check. If they agree you are caught up in negative environment, you might want to have a “positive” confrontation to see if you can come to a meeting of the minds with the boss. If you cannot start your plan to get out of his/her organization either within the company or to a new company and position. |

#5 Find and Foster a Mentor Relationship
Traditionally it was thought that a mentor had to be a “higher up” on the corporate ladder and that there must be some commonality between the mentor and mentee. But there is a tremendous amount of information that can be learned from peers – at the same level or below – inside or outside of your company.
Respect and trust are the two vital ingredients of a mentor relationship. You have to show respect and a willingness to listen and act on advice. The mentor must respect you and your potential in order to expend energy to assist you. You must trust each other and know that what is communicated will be confidential. |
