On Being A Star At Work
Robert E．Kelly，a consultant for major corporations and a professor at Carnegie Mellon University，has written a book entitled How To Be a Star at Work，in which he teaches readers how to improve their day－to－day behavior at work by using nine breakthrough strategies：
１．Initiative1) It's not about finding little ways to do your job better，or volunteering to do little extras like planning the annual picnic．Star performers know that real initiative means going beyond your regular work to come up with new ideas that really help the company's bottom line．
２.Networking Average performers think it means socializing with the boss in hopes of getting a promotion．Star performers know it's really about building good relationships with the knowledge gurus2) who can help you get your work done faster and better．
３．Self－management Don't get hung up on whether your desk is clean or cluttered3)－－that has nothing to do with success．The key is whether you are sticking to the"critical path"when you organize your time，work space，and goals．
４．Perspective4) Average workers see everything from their own point of view，but stars learn to consider the perspectives of their colleagues，bosses，customers，and competitors．
５．Followership You don't have to be a spineless5) yes－person to be a good follower．There are smart ways to influence what happens while still checking your ego at the door．
６．Leadership Don' t get blinded by the cult－hero worship of"Big L "leaders；instead，learn the secrets of influencing people through"Small L"leader ship．
７．Teamwork Everyone talks about teams，but stars know how to avoid the pitfalls that often derail them．
８．Organizational Savvy6) "Office politics"has got a bad name．Stars know that developing"credibility"with the right people can help them address conflicts and promote co－operation．
９．Show－and－Tell People judge you by what you say and do during meetings and presentations．Stars always know their audience and shape their message accordingly7)．
助你成为工作明星的良方
罗伯特•凯利是卡耐基-梅隆大学的教授，也是多家大公司的顾问。他撰写了一部书，名为《如何成为工作明星》。在书中他点拨读者：使用９大突破性战术可以改善他们的日常行为而成为工作中的明星。
１．首创精神 这不是去发现微不足道的方法把你的工作做得更好，或者主动请求去做一些额外的工作，如计划一年一度的外出野餐活动。明星工作者懂得真正的首创精神意味着超越常规工作，想出新点子，真正有助于公司的基本方针。
２．人际关系网 普通工作者认为：这意味着和老板搞好关系以得到晋升；而明星工作者则懂得，这是要真正地与有知识的行家们建立起关系，因为他们会帮助你更快更好地完成工作。
３．自我管理 不要局限在你的办公桌是干净还是杂乱这类区区小事上---这些与成功没有多大的关系。关键是当你安排自己的时间、工作范围以及工作目标时，你是否坚定不移地走在一条"至关重要的道路"上。
４．看待事物的角度 普通工作者从他们自己的角度看事物，然而明星工作者却学会从自己的同事、老板、客户以及竞争者的不同角度来考虑事情。
５．服从精神 你无须凡事唯唯诺诺才算是一名好的追随者。有聪明的方法能使你既能自我约束又可影响所发生的事情。
６．领导能力 无须盲目崇拜"大人物"领导者。相反，你要学会用"小人物"的领导艺术来影响别人。
７．团队精神 大家都在谈论"团队"，但是明星工作者懂得如何去避开陷阱，有条不紊地干好工作。
８．组织才能 "办公室政治"已经声名狼藉。明星工作者懂得与适当的人建立起一种互相信任的关系，这有助于他们对付冲突，增进合作。９．自我表现 人们通过在会上和工作汇报中以你的一言一行来评价你。明星工作者了解他们的听众，能做到以言行迎合不同的听众。
