‘Hiring managers expect you to negotiate. Done respectfully, it can both increase your earnings and enhance your relationship.’

‘Even if presented with a good offer, sleep on it. Chances are there is something extra- a sign-on bonus, additional vacation time, flextime- that will benefit you.’

‘There are many perks that put money into your pocket at the end of the month in addition to base salary. Understand which are meaningful to you.’

‘As a Switcher, you may need to take a hit on compensation; however, don’t let that one factor override all the positive gains that come with the career change. Money is the only one piece of the larger career-switch puzzle.’

‘Choosing between two solid offers can be difficult. Consider multiple factors such as your direct boss, longer-term opportunities, and company culture when deciding.’

‘Failure is a learning opportunity that is par for the career-switch course! Get up, dust off, and keep on moving forward.’

‘Branding and networking are ongoing activities for professionals. Career management isn’t an occassional event. Find ways to micro-network and make brand deposits to strengthen your reputation in the market.’

‘Take time to slow down and evaluate how your actions are influencing your career goals. There may be things you can start or stop doing that will have a major impact on your success.’

‘Don’t forget how you got where you are. Keep your eyes open for chances to help others attain career success. None of us are successful without the support of others.’

‘Focus on the value you bring to the job rather than the experience you don’t have (yet!).’

‘Clarity comes through action!’

How To Grow Your Organization

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

Leadership development is self-development. To develop other leaders, you must start with yourself.

‘If developing ourselves as leaders is a lifelong process, then we should also expect the development of others in leadership to be an ongoing process that never ends.’

‘Grow a leader- grow the organization. A company cannot grow throughout until its leaders grow within.’

‘The strengths of any organization is a direct result of the strength of its leaders. Weak leaders equal weak organizations. Strong leaders equal strong organizations.

‘Good leaders want more for the people they lead than they want from them.’

‘If you desire to attract and develop leaders, you need to have the wind blowing with you, not against you.’

‘Leaders who genuinely listen and keep confidences gain the trust of the people they work with.’

‘Listening draws people to you, which works much better than trying to push your leadership on them. Empathy builds trust.‘

‘You can never get the best out of people if you don’t know who they are, where they want to go, what they care about, how they think, and how they want to contribute.’

‘As a leader, one of the most important things you can do with anyone you want to develop is to understand and connect with him or her.’

‘No matter how busy you are or how demanding your leadership situation, you will only be able to equip potential leaders effectively if you take the time to gather them close to you and invest time in them.’

‘The way you expand your potential is to help others expand theirs.’
