Appearances to Avoid: The purveyor of significant, needed organization knowledge needs to take care that he is not seen as a road block, a naysayer, or a negative employee who focuses on what doesn’t work, didn’t work, and won’t work. You’ll want to avoid being viewed as an employee who is not open to new ideas. You need to stay away from the appearance of territoriality or unwillingness to share information.
避免出現(xiàn)：組織提供重大信息的決策者要注意，不要讓別人覺(jué)得你是一個(gè)障礙，是一個(gè)懷疑論者，或者是一個(gè)只專(zhuān)注于那些過(guò)去，現(xiàn)在，將來(lái)都不肯能起作用的事情的消極員工。你要避免被人看作是一位聽(tīng)不進(jìn)新思想的員工。不要停留在事情的表面，也不要不愿意和大家分享信息。

Contributions that add measurably to the bottom line via cost savings, process improvements, increased sales, and new customers are noticed and will help in keeping your job. It’s not enough to make the improvement, your boss must know you made the improvement. Measurable contributions count.
你可以通過(guò)為公司做貢獻(xiàn)來(lái)增加你的重要性，比如節(jié)約成本，改進(jìn)工藝，提高銷(xiāo)售量，以及開(kāi)發(fā)新開(kāi)戶等，這對(duì)保住你的工作是有幫助的。但是，光做貢獻(xiàn)是不夠的，你必須讓上司知道你為公司做了這些貢獻(xiàn)。看得見(jiàn)的貢獻(xiàn)才算。

Start by setting goals with your boss, agree on measurements, and determine when he or she wants feedback. Make the improvements, document the starting point and your progress, share the results with your boss and interested others. Make sure your measurements are accurate and that the leadership group sees your documentation. If your company offers recognition for extraordinary contributions, ask your boss to nominate you.
從與你的上司擬定目標(biāo)開(kāi)始，商定評(píng)測(cè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，并確認(rèn)你的上司什么時(shí)候想要結(jié)果。在你做貢獻(xiàn)的時(shí)候，將你的起點(diǎn)和過(guò)程用文件記錄下來(lái)，與你的上司分享結(jié)果，讓其他人對(duì)你的貢獻(xiàn)感興趣。確定你的評(píng)測(cè)是精確的，并確保你公司的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層看得見(jiàn)你的貢獻(xiàn)。如果你公司設(shè)有特殊貢獻(xiàn)獎(jiǎng)的話，讓你的上司提名你參加。

Kristy Chamberlain, a Baton Rouge, LA Human Resources manager, says, “Be visible. Volunteer for extra assignments that will make the boss and the boss's boss know your name. Design a brochure, take minutes in the executive meeting, polish a report - work diligently and be noticed.”
巴路易斯安那州的巴吞魯日人力資源經(jīng)理Kristy Chamberlain說(shuō)：“讓別人看得見(jiàn)自己的努力。自愿做額外的任務(wù)可以讓你的上司或你上司的上司知道你的存在。制作一個(gè)小冊(cè)子，用來(lái)在常務(wù)會(huì)議上作會(huì)議記錄，完善你的報(bào)告，勤勞的工作可以讓別人注意你的存在。

Jay Himes, an executive director in Lynchburg, VA adds, "Make sure you are providing value. Always ask,'What are your accomplishments today? How could you have used your time better?'"
弗吉尼亞州林奇堡的執(zhí)行理事Jay Himes補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“確保你的貢獻(xiàn)是有價(jià)值的。經(jīng)常自問(wèn)自己今天的成就是什么？你可以怎樣更好的利用時(shí)間？”??
