Welcome to Leadership Insider. [161It is an online course that invites the most thoughtful and influential people in business contribute to answers questions about careers and leadership. Let me introduce to you Sanjay Sanghoee, COO of Delos Capital, who will answer the question "How do you stay humble at work?" Sanjay Sanghoee:
In today’s business environment, confidence is a key attribute for success However, there is a difference between confidence and assertiveness, and the best professionals are humble enough to know that I first learned this lesson in investment banking. Desperately wanting to be taken seriously, I walked around to deceive my colleagues and offered as many opinions to my bosses as I possibly could. This worked for a while, [17] but then my unwarranted confidence led to setbacks in the form of careless mistakes and lack of attention to details, which was noticed by my superiors as well as clients.
While it was tough to realize that I was not the financial genius I imagined myself to be, it also taught me to be humble and recognize that I had a lot more work to do to become proficient in my field. As a result, I focused first on improving my craft and actual skills. My fake confidence became genuine and that evolution has helped me throughout my career.
These four rules can help you blend humility into your professional skills without compromising your career:
First, think twice before acting. Never make an executive decision that you are not really empowered to, or that is not backed up with sufficient knowledge, just to impress your boss. If you really want to impress your superiors, or if you are a leader and want to impress your team, do your homework first [18] A bad decision made in the heat of eagerness will hurt your credibility in the long run.
Second, ask plenty of questions. Obviously, not every question goes to your boss’ desk and sometimes it’s better to ask your peers or even your juniors first. While we all want to avoid exposing our weaknesses to our colleagues, the reverse also holds true. Your colleagues will respect you for having the guts to admit your lack of knowledge about something.
Third, admit your mistakes and avoid being defensive. I’m not suggesting that you spend weeks apologizing for every oversight, but making a mistake but refusing to admit it makes no good. [19] It exhibits insecurity and a lack of professionalism. "Never complain, never explain" is outdated. That’s called being stubborn, not confident.
Fourth, create your own professional goals. Setting expectations for yourself and exceeding them is even more satisfied than surpassing someone else’s standards, and in the eyes of an observant superior, an assuring sign that you deserve career advancement.
16. What do we know about Leadership Insider?
17. What kind of setback did the speaker experience in investment banking?
18. What is the consequence of a bad decision in the heat of eagerness?
19. What does refusal to admit one’s mistake indicate?
选项
A、He made careless mistakes.
B、His superior didn’t take him seriously.
C、His opinions were ignored by others.
D、He was deceived by his colleagues.
答案
A
解析
根据主讲人的个人经历,由于自己的自信没有底气,随后挫折接踵而来,包括疏忽造成的失误(careless mistakes)及忽略细节(1ack of attention to detail),自己的上司和客户皆对此有所察觉,所以A项是正确答案。主讲人提到自己当年非常渴望能得到他人的重视,未提到上司是否重视他,故B项错误。录音只提到主讲人积极给上司提意见,并未提到他的意见是否受到忽略,排除C项。D项与事例相反,事实是主讲人欺骗同事。
