Here's how you can showcase your value and contributions to your boss.

Tracking success is not about feeding one's ego, but rather a strategic tool for professional growth. By maintaining a record of achievements, positive feedback, and measurable impacts, you create a tangible reference for performance evaluations and discussions with your boss. This approach facilitates clear communication about your contributions to the company and helps your boss recognize your value. It's a way to ensure your efforts are acknowledged and considered in decision-making processes. Remember, documenting your success is about showcasing your value, not inflating your ego.

It's a great idea to keep your boss/reporting manager updated on the progress of your assignments. Maintain a tracker of some sort- let them know what has been completed ( especially if something is done before time) and also what is pending. This is valuable not only to showcase your good work but also when it comes to performance appraisal time nobody will have trouble remembering what you worked on/how long it took/what was achieved. Furthermore, you will have strong talking points when you sit down to discuss a raise or a promotion.

Don't wait for annual reviews to discuss your accomplishments. Schedule regular check-ins with your boss to update them on your progress, challenges, and successes. This demonstrates proactiveness and keeps your contributions top of mind.

Keep a word document or excel spreadsheet with a list of your contributions, whether they be daily tasks or larger projects. Then when you have a review or want to argue for a pay increase or promotion, you can reference that document and have evidence of your contributions right at your fingertips.

You know your wins better than anyone else in the company and keeping a list of your achievements throughout the year provides a helpful framework for review or promotion discussions. While management may be aware of some of your bigger wins during the year, they are managing an entire firm worth of people. They won't be aware of all of your successes and your list will help them see just how valuable you are.

Setting goals is really important to me. It gives me a sense of direction and purpose in both my personal and professional life. When I set goals, whether they're short-term or long-term, it helps me stay focused and motivated. It's like having a roadmap that guides my actions and decisions. Plus, achieving those goals gives me a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. I think it's not just about setting any goals, but setting ones that are challenging yet achievable, because they push me to grow and improve. Overall, goal-setting is something I find really valuable for my personal growth and success.

Estabelecer metas claras e mensuráveis é uma maneira eficaz de demonstrar seu compromisso com o sucesso e mostrar seu progresso ao longo do tempo. Por exemplo, se você trabalha em vendas, pode estabelecer uma meta de aumentar as vendas em 20% no próximo trimestre. Ao acompanhar seu progresso em relação a essa meta e comunicar regularmente seu status ao seu chefe, você demonstra sua capacidade de se autogerenciar e atingir objetivos desafiadores.

A comunicação clara e eficaz é fundamental para garantir que seu chefe esteja ciente de suas contribuições e do valor que você traz para a equipe. Por exemplo, se você liderou um projeto bem-sucedido, é importante comunicar claramente os resultados alcançados, os desafios superados e o impacto positivo do projeto para a organização. Ao articular suas realizações de forma concisa e persuasiva, você reforça sua credibilidade e destaca seu valor para seu chefe e colegas de trabalho.

Whenever possible, use numbers and metrics to illustrate your impact. For example, instead of saying "I increased website traffic," state "I increased website traffic by 15% in Q2." Quantifiable results provide concrete evidence of your value.

Lembre-se: antes de tudo, é necessário que você esteja em um ambiente onde se sinta bem. Não queira fazer isso em uma empresa onde se sinta mal.

Communicating your progress with clarity and accuracy gives your boss the insights that they need to know that you are beginning to master your job. When you are able to communicate your progress it depicts that you have grasped the basic understand of what your job entails. By communicating your progress with clarity your boss can now begin to trust you to work with more automacy providing a healthier work relationship with your boss. If you build on your progress communication you will solve a majority of the issues you may have currently with your boss at work.

Actively seek feedback from your boss and colleagues to understand how you can improve and add more value. Demonstrate your willingness to learn and grow by implementing their suggestions.

El seguimiento y la constancia son las clave del éxito!!! Esto aplica tanto para lo profesional como personal, son indicadores que nos ayudaran a llegar a las metas trazadas!!!

Be a part of the solution not of the problem. “I dont know” mindset is a problem!! Instead, ask: how could it happen/ be solved? Or what else could be done?

In my opinion, it is very important to take the lead in offering answers when a question of "what now?" comes up. Avoid just saying "I don’t know". Instead, take the time to figure out what the potential solutions could be. Your expertise only grows after you do the work of coming up with potential solutions, and do this in a place that puts you nearer to the required answers. Consistently providing solutions allows you to demonstrate your executive-level abilities. You are an company's problem-solver, and with each problem you solve, the positive impact on the company becomes more and more your responsibility.

These points are also important for us as managers to remember when staff reviews come around. We can help our staff succeed by asking them to go through this process before their reviews and regularly throughout the year.
