Tips for success

Many women have achieved new heights despite all the barriers organisations and unfair bosses put to them. They did this with their hard work, perseverance, intellect and intuition. Here are some ways in which they did this:
l Understand the environment in which you work. It is better to test the waters before you take a dip.
l Adaptability and flexibility can take you a long way.  
l Maintain focus on your priorities in terms of work and the goals you want to achieve.
l Work on the business priorities. It is too easy to get caught up in everyday emergencies and other people’s requests.
l Learn to delegate and trust that your people will do their job.
l You may be phenomenal at some specific skill, but that talent will do you no good if it’s not a key element to the job you are performing.
l Be more than good at whatever job you accept—be exceptional.
l Learn to be effective with people because, believe it or not, your peers play a big role in your promotion.
