Leveraging on 10X as an Employee

#1 Adopt the 10X Employee Mindset

There are some employees that just wants to perform their tasks so that they are paid at the end of the month. You need to stop thinking “I’ll just do my tasks”.  You have to start thinking of how you will exceed your daily target and wow your employer and your colleagues at the office. 

You also need to focus on impact, not just effort. You need to make sure you are relevant in that environment and not just merely existing. Be creative and this will open more opportunities for you in that space.

As an employee aiming for the top, you need to make sure that you are delivering on promises. You have to deliver on promises every single time. Managers should be able to commit tasks into your hands and sleep with their two eyes closed. 

Like I said early , you should be able to own your mistakes quickly. You need to quickly admit that you have made mistakes early without looking for who to pass the blame to. You must also be willing to learn from your mistakes. 

You also need to build a reputation as the employee management never has to chase. That means you must be ready to always get things done at the nick of time

You also need to ask for bigger responsibilities that stretch your skills. The more bigger responsibilities you are ready to take, the more you are aiming for the top. 

You also need to align personal growth with company goals. You have to look for ways that the corporate goals will inspire you to achieve your personal objective. I do not also need to remind you that your personal goals must submit to overall corporate objectives as well. 

As you are doing all these , you need to position yourself for promotions, raises, or leadership roles. That is what will keep inspiring you to greater heights.
