2. Take charge of your career
planning
Be intentional about your
career rather than just
coasting along with whatever
happens. Expect that if you
own your career and plan it
well, you can become more
successful, more satisfied with
your work life, and increase
the significance of your impact
on the world around you.

3. Deal wisely with
organizational politics
Acknowledge that every
workplace are fraught with
politics, because every group
of people is imperfect and
prone to political
maneuvering. Don’t be naïve
about the office politics that
surround you, but know that
you can avoid being drawn in
by them.

5. Work to please your customers
Realize that, no matter what
type of work you do or
position you hold, someone
relies on what you do and how
well you deliver it. Whether
your customers are outside
your business or within it,
strive to do your best to serve
them.

7. Work to please your customers
Realize that, no matter what
type of work you do or
position you hold, someone
relies on what you do and how
well you deliver it. Whether
your customers are outside
your business or within it,
strive to do your best to serve
them.

9. Take criticism well
Your boss's feedback is
valuable.
He isn't necessarily criticizing
your performance because he
dislikes you.
He may be trying to help you
succeed.

11. Be a problem solver, not a
complainer
If you have a complaint about
something, always have ideas
about how to make it better.
When you turn negativity into
positive action, you will sound
professional instead of whiny.

13. Don’t let your job title define
you
Understand that you’re not
defined by the title on your
business card.
It is important to improve your
own perspectives about your
work, identifying all the
opportunities that it offers
you.

15. Invest in mentoring
relationships
Build relationships throughout
your professional life that can
benefit both you and others
for years to come by seeking
out some mentors and serving
as a mentor yourself. Consider
what specific ways you hope
to grow professionally.

17. Take charge of your career
planning

career rather than just
coasting along with whatever
happens. Expect that if you
own your career and plan it
well, you can become more
successful, more satisfied with
your work life, and increase
the significance of your impact
on the world around you.
