[...] Are You Anonymous At Work? (Guest Post by GL Hoffman, over at ChrisBrogan.com). This one actually ties really nicely into the Results Without Authority review mentioned above. By giving practical tips and specific strategies, GL Hoffman’s post really lays out a clear path for making yourself indispensible at work, and by extension, in other settings as well. When layoffs seem like they can be hiding just around the corner, it’s no time to just sit by and let yourself be anonymous. Taking leadership of your situation can make all the difference. [...]

Thanks Chris and GL for the timely post. I agree with all of the points – of course, come have more impact than others. #6, #7 are often overlooked in the search for visibility in the workplace. Being responsible, even indirectly, for a sale can be a huge boost to your career. #7 needs no explanation. A word of praise from the company’s customers cannot be ignored.

Another point that really matters is taking ownership of work. If you are working on something that needs you to interface with many other people, it is your responsibility to see it happens, even if you have to go to your department head. With ownership comes passion and commitment. I have never seen someone promoted above the first level management without these 3 attributes (in decent, mature companies).

BTW, should the title be “How can social media help you make visible”?

Thanks and Regards
Sridhar

Very good post Chris, as usual. What I noticed about the employees of my company, is that I love people who take initiatives and bring to my table new ideas, especially those focused on customer satisfaction / more business for my company. What I don’t like? People who do strictly what they have to, no initiative, no new ideas, no space for imagination. The best ideas for new services to get new customers? From a core-technology engineer ;-)

Great reminders, especially in these uncertain times. I’m a big believer in creating the work you love in the role you’re in. Adopting this mentality and speaking about my work with passion has opened many opportunities for me. Thanks for the post.
