1. Let others know you did a good job.

Many people think that "if you have the ability, your superiors will notice ". But if you just work hard without speaking up, your chances of getting promoted are very low. The reason is that no matter how good you are, few people will know about you.

A girl once shared on the Chinese social network Zhihu that she works very hard, leaving early and coming home late. She doesn't even use her own phone, and only eats a quick lunch to finish her work early.

The girl thought that if she worked hard and tried hard like that, she would soon be promoted to department manager. However, half a year later, someone else took the position.

The reason was not because the girl's performance was poor, but because the boss was often absent from the company and completely unaware of her efforts.

Meanwhile, newly promoted people often connect and exchange with superiors, finding every way to communicate with leaders.

A person with high EQ not only works hard but also lets others know that he or she has done a good job.

Being able to positively and appropriately express results is also a skill, especially in the workplace.

2. Respect other people's opinions

To be successful at work, you need not only intelligence but also high EQ. This will be the way for you to prove yourself at work and be loved by many people.

In a group, each individual has his or her own ideas and suggestions. Therefore, you will receive a lot of feedback from colleagues and superiors in meetings.

You need to know that your idea may not be the best choice. Everyone can come up with new, interesting ideas that can contribute to the collective result.

Therefore, people with high EQ never judge or underestimate others. On the contrary, they give absolute respect to others and listen to see if their opinions are positive or not.

When you can do this, your superiors will certainly appreciate you. That is your acumen and correct thinking to help the group develop further.

3. Learn to pretend to avoid a lot of trouble

Working in an office environment is more than just a test of ability.

Although excellent people will shine wherever they go, people with strong abilities often have high "egos" and think too straightforwardly.

After all, the nature of the workplace in particular and society in general is different from that of school.

If your outstanding abilities attract too much attention in the company, you will get yourself into trouble.

You must understand that there is always competition among employees. The results of competition directly affect everyone's responsibilities and benefits.

Therefore, it is especially important to "learn to pretend".

People should be smart when they need to be smart, but be tactful so they can "pretend" in front of their colleagues. When communicating with colleagues, learn to pretend to avoid trouble.

4. Know how to keep secrets, do not discuss behind other people's backs

In the workplace, if we are not careful, we can easily encounter gossip. Therefore, if you are a person with high EQ, you will definitely know how to keep secrets and keep your mouth shut to avoid getting yourself into trouble.

You can't control what is said about you so it's best to be careful about what you say.

In particular, wise people will not talk behind others' backs because that is not a good thing. You should give advice to others to help them improve instead of talking behind their backs and making the relationship worse.

You will become the center of trouble and be considered a gossip if you talk behind other people's backs.

5. Challenge yourself with big projects

In an office environment, there is no shortage of small, nameless tasks. If you do these things all the time, your career will stagnate forever because you never dare to "swim far from shore".

You accept doing small things out of habit or because you don't want to be under new pressure, but you will never dare to step out of your comfort zone in your whole life.

This “trap” will even tie you down if you don’t learn to proactively challenge yourself with bigger jobs and constantly strive for new roles.

Self-development is difficult to do, but doing the same job forever, isn't that something everyone can do?

6. Don't over-express yourself

In the workplace, there are many people with outstanding abilities but they do not always show it.

When you first start working, it's best not to show off your own abilities but to focus on learning from others.

In all situations, you should promote learning to improve yourself, increase your capacity and become more confident.

When you are humble, both your colleagues and superiors will have a good impression of you. You should demonstrate your abilities at the right time to be recognized and given more opportunities.

Once you have made a good impression on your superiors, your promotion will be much easier.

7. Don't talk about salary or income

Everyone in the office seems to be curious about their income or salary, but sometimes, being too curious is not a good thing.

None of us are comfortable being asked about our income. For example, every time Tet comes, you are often asked about this by relatives and obviously, no one wants to mention whether it is low or high.

In fact, this is a rather sensitive issue and no one wants to talk about it too much. In such situations, you should keep quiet and not casually ask others about their income.

In addition to avoiding asking about other people's personal income, you should also avoid revealing your own income. Many people, after earning a large sum of money, will show off and want everyone to know about their talents.

While having money can indeed earn people's respect, it can be troublesome if it's only for their own benefit. There will definitely be people who ask to borrow money or people who just want your services.

So, to avoid this situation, it's best not to casually talk about income or salary anywhere.

8. Don't be afraid to lose face

We all don’t like to be criticized or looked down upon by others. Because of this mentality, many people in the workplace pretend to be competent even though they know nothing. In reality, face is the least valuable thing, especially when you are not competent.

As a new employee, if you cannot listen to comments from colleagues and superiors, you will not be able to receive dedicated guidance, and your abilities will not be improved or recognized by others.

In the workplace, truly capable people do not care too much about appearance. Because they are aware that they need to gain more knowledge and experience and develop.

Besides, outsiders don't care about your self-esteem, they only care about your achievements and the attitude you show at work.

Finally, in work and social life, it is not necessarily about working ability but sometimes about eloquence, vision, emotional intelligence and strategy.

With good eloquence, you can express what you want to say in a form that the other person likes to hear while still maintaining mutual feelings, so that others can understand you and increase the chances of successful negotiations.

With foresight, you can figure out where things are going, find the key to unlocking it, and get double the results with half the effort.

Patterns and strategies will allow you to stay on track and gain the trust of others.
