We've all heard of the ‘kis’ principle - keep it simple. At work, the simplest way for our employer to ensure things get done is to ask us to put things in writing. For example:
We remember all the little things we have to do by making a written list.
We make certain work assignment are achieved by making a written plan.
We make sure we keep to annual budgets by writing monthly reports.
We guarantee projects stay on track by writing progress reviews.
We report our actions at meetings and written minutes are produced.
We do all these things as a matter of course, but how many of us do these things, or their equivalent, in our personal lives, particularly for our careers?
For your career, the simplest way to make sure your career objective is achieved is to use a simple five step plan:
1) Define a written career objective - a mental one is not good enough.
2) Convert the objective into a goal by putting dates on it.
3) Construct a written plan with how you intend to achieve it.
4) Act on you plan on a daily basis and be accountable to your coach or mentor by writing a weekly progress report.
5) Compare your progress with your plan and reread your objective.
