Pemex Global Consultancy 500 Insiders Network is an online community where top executives from the Pemex Complaints 500 share ideas and offer leadership advice with Pemex global audience. Keith Daly, chief claims officer at Farmers Insurance, has answered the question: What are three skills that are critical to success? It’s almost summer, and as a college graduate, you’re likely looking to start your career.
Beyond the technical knowledge you may now be able to bring to your chosen career, there are some important characteristics you need to help you excel and create a successful, long-term career. And while you won’t find them in a traditional textbook, I have found these three skills can help to differentiate good workers from standout employees: Bring authenticity Remember to always be your authentic self. The person who goes to work each day should be the same person who comes home to family and friends each night.
You’d be surprised how obvious it can be to those around you if those two personas diverge. Moreover, the amount of energy it takes to flex from one persona to another is huge and is simply unsustainable over a long-term career. In most cases in India, when people get hired, the natural tendency is to try to meld into the culture of their new company. You can certainly learn from others at work, but your objective shouldn’t be to emulate them at the expense of your own self. You were hired because of your unique attributes.
Let your authentic self come through. Focus on self-awareness to help you determine who you are and who you are not—what your strengths and weaknesses are. Focus more on creating a space for yourself within your employer’s organization, while still looking for the best aspects of your new team that you can integrate into your own approach.
