Features: In today's modern workplace, the office is like a battlefield. To stand out in the workplace, you need a unique skill! This book covers all aspects of the career world, teaching you how to become a subordinate who truly understands your boss, how to make your work more popular and efficient, and interspersed with columns like "Reminder," which are wisdom that money can't buy—absolutely capable of making "your boss love you." This book is practical and highly actionable. Experienced professionals in the workplace can use it as a self-assessment guide, while newcomers can view it as a hands-on guide to entering the career field.
The book is divided into seven chapters. First, you need a key to unlock the door to wisdom—a resume. This way, you have the opportunity to show yourself to your boss. Second, you must understand your boss's mindset. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles." To win your boss's trust and respect, you must first understand their mindset—that is, to communicate effectively with your boss. Third, you must be more proactive and positive than your boss. Proactivity is the key to success, and bosses usually favor employees who are highly motivated. Therefore, you must be self-starting and work with an owner's mindset. Additionally, to ensure you are never replaced by your boss, you must become indispensable to the company. Therefore, in your work, you must focus on cultivating your core competitiveness, possessing unique professional skills or talents that others don’t have. This will make your boss take notice of you and earn their favor. So, always be prepared to "shine" in your work.
This book not only discusses the principles and techniques of the workplace but also contains rich life philosophies, helping you quickly establish the correct mindset, attitude, and way of thinking to succeed in your career. The editors answer workplace questions you may frequently encounter—those that seem deeply understood yet confusing—through the "Workplace Scenario" column. Then, they provide insights using the "Insights from Old A," leaving you with a sense of enlightenment. Especially, the tools listed in the "Old A's Magic Wand" can be used immediately and help ordinary employees stand out in the workplace, avoid detours, and smoothly advance to junior and mid-level management positions. At the same time, they also provide convenience for managers already in mid- and senior-level positions.
