The only characteristic common to people who can work
Translated from 日本語 • View original

When you work as a member of society, you get to know many people through your work. In the midst of this, I think there are some things that you think are a little bad that this person can do the job.

This time, I would like to think about the common characteristics of those who can and cannot do it.

I looked into the net

I digress suddenly, but when I write a blog, I decide to google what has been written in the past on the Internet.

The reason is that it doesn't make much sense to write exactly the same thing as someone else. If other people are writing the same thing, I think it would be nice to share it and say, "This article is interesting."

If you don't have unique content, it's not very valuable for this type of blog.

When I raised the bar for myself a little, I immediately googled "people who can work in common" and "characteristics of people who can work".

I'm going to come out. My predecessors have already written about this.

Characteristics of people who are generally said to be able to work

While saying that unique content is needed, I will try to sort out what is generally written about people who can work.

(1) People who can work are "early" There are various ways to be early. Quick response, quick action, quick decision-making, etc.

(2) People who can work are "logical" It is a major premise of "being able to do" that what they are thinking is organized.

(3) People who can work are "good at the point" It is important to increase the speed of work.

(4) People who can work are "good at communication" It is important to be able to have a good conversation and be liked by people.

Other than that, they are always smiling, able to say hello, eager to study, professional, and continue to take on challenges.

Certainly...

However, it is easy to say, but there are not many people who can do all of these.

Some people can work without being fast

These are one of the characteristics of people who can do the above, but if you think about it, there are patterns such as "people who are not very good at communication but can work" and "people who are not that fast, but are of high quality and are thought to be able to work".

The same may be true for speed. There are people who think they can work even if they don't have to be that fast.

It seems that the characteristics of people who can work are generally mixed with things that are not "absolute conditions".

If I had to pick only one characteristic of a person who can do a job,

Since the title says "only one", I would like to choose one characteristic of a person who can do the job here.

From my point of view, it is common to all people who think "I am a person who can do it".

It comes down to this point of "doing work that exceeds expectations".

What is a job that exceeds expectations?

Expectations are the expectations of those around you. If you are asked to do a job, it is the expectation of the person who asked you.

In order to exceed expectations, you must have a firm grasp of them.

People who can work have a firm grasp of the "expectations" around them. And I always do a little extra work.

Even if ordinary people grasp their expectations, they will continue to work without thinking about the plus alpha.

People who can't do it don't have a clear understanding of expectations in the first place, so they have holes in what they do or are slow to do, and they end up doing negative alpha work.

The positive alpha here leads to respect and appreciation for the person, while the negative alpha is the opposite.

How to Become a Workable Person

What do you think? Based on this, let's think about how to become a person who can work.

The first step to being able to work is to accurately grasp your expectations. And to exceed those expectations even a little and produce positive results.

Accumulate these activities every day.

By being recognized by those around you, you will have the opportunity to be entrusted with a higher level of work. And in the next job, I will exceed my expectations. Isn't creating that cycle a way to become a person who can work?
