Building Confidence

Very few people succeed in business without a degree of confidence. Yet everyone, from young people in their first real jobs to seasoned leaders in the upper ranks of organizations, have moments — or days, months, or even years — when they are unsure of their ability to tackle challenges. No one is immune to these bouts of insecurity at work, but they don’t have to hold you back. As the saying goes, “practice makes perfect”. The best way to build confidence in a given area is to invest energy in it and work hard at it.
Many people give up when they think they’re not good at a particular job or task, assuming the exertion is fruitless, but deliberate practice will almost always trump natural aptitude. If you are unsure about your ability to do something, like speaking in front of large audience or negotiating with a tough customer, start by trying out the skills in a safe setting with people you know. While you don’t want to completely rely on others’ opinions to boost your ego, validation can also be very effective in building confidence. Be sure to pick people whose feedback will be entirely truthful, and then use any genuinely positive commentary you get as inspiration to do better.

EFFECTIVE TEAM WORK

WHAT IS TEAMWORK? TEAMWORK is the process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal. Teamwork is often a crucial part of a business, as it is often necessary for colleagues to work well together, trying their best in any circumstance. Teamwork means that people will try to cooperate, using their individual skills and providing constructive feedback, despite any personal conflict between individuals. A single person sometimes is not capable of making critical decisions alone and taking on big projects without the help of a team. There are many situations when a single person can see only one side of the task or problem. A team is required to see all the aspects of that task, whether good or bad and can make decisions based on everyone’s opinion.
