【Act like a young professional🌻】I want to get as much feedback as possible by doing more work than anyone else✨: Textbook for First-Year Employees📗 No. 4

Mindset for taking the first step as a business professional💛

Starting from April 2024, I will be in a new environment
and beginning my life as a working adult,
but honestly, I feel quite anxious...

Will I really be able to get used to
my work and workplace from here on out?

How should I conduct myself
to minimize mistakes and grow into a
reliable professional?

To reduce these anxieties and risks as much as possible, I would like to

read through "The Textbook for First-Year Employees" from now on💚

From this textbook, I will thoroughly absorb the
"Three Principles of Work" and the
50 concrete action guidelines that are important for new employees to carry out their work💙

And as my ultimate goal, I will organize my notes
to master the mindset for "becoming a trusted new employee"
🔥

Review of the previous session📗

• Work efficiency is determined in the "last 5 minutes"

• The ratio of preparation, execution, and review should be 3:3:3

• Ask questions while showing your notes

• Review is everything in work

• Write meeting minutes even if you aren't asked to

Following the 6-10 from last time, this time I would like to output
11-15 of the 50 rules that new graduates should keep in mind💛

11. Even as a newcomer, you must speak up in meetings

It may take courage for a newcomer to speak up in a meeting suddenly.
However,

if you are an attendee of a meeting, it is a rule of being a professional to contribute in some way
🌟

Contributions unique to a newcomer include, for example,
speaking from a fresh perspective without preconceptions,
or conveying the sense of the field and raw feedback;
it is essential to utilize the privileges of being young💛

And it is also important to take the initiative to take minutes,
make copies,
and clear away the tea cups🍵

I will keep in mind to contribute to the team and organization
in ways that are only possible because I am a newcomer and a young professional!

12. Start by making appointments

The author says that by making appointments, or in other words,
keeping your schedule filled, you can improve your work ability.

By making appointments and setting deadlines,
the speed of your work will increase👍
It is important to get things done in volume, and
to polish your sense of the field💎

The equation "Results = Productivity x Time Invested" should always be kept in mind, and increasing the number of tasks and time spent is
an essential approach to improving
productivity and the results you can achieve👍

13. Greet people energetically in the morning

Since the priority for a new employee is to have people learn your face and name, greetings are very important
🌞It is also important to be someone people think, "I want to work with that person."
And the crucial point is that this is not limited to people within the company.
Being polite to the cleaning staff who clean the building and people who have no direct connection to the company

is also subject to evaluation👀

I believe that treating everyone fairly
can also be conveyed through
energetic greetings💛

14. Declare "I will leave early"

Since predictability is everything in work,
while complying with company rules and regulations,
announcing in advance that "I will leave early"
may be a form of consideration in a sense.

The important thing is to communicate clearly,
and to cover for it by making up for it somewhere else👍

If you are going to leave early, you can just
come to work early in the morning.
As long as you have properly completed what you need to do,
there is no problem at all in terms of work.

Even in your own workplace, if you communicate it properly in advance,
it is not rude.
Also, it is fine if you also declare that you will make up for it elsewhere.

15. Work is about groundwork (nemawashi)

Groundwork is necessary in work.
It can be said to be an indispensable task for digging deeper into issues
and for shortening the overall decision-making process.

Even in meetings,groundwork allows you to share information with attendees in advance,
introduce the issues, and start the meeting
with the attendees' thoughts on them already cultivated.

By doing groundwork like this,
you will be able to spend time on "discussion" and
"reaching conclusions," which are what should originally be done in meetings👍

In conclusion, by doing groundwork,
"building consensus on basic matters"
"handling addressable objections"
and so on can be done, so
you will be able to advance discussions to the next level💛

In other words,groundwork = advance preparation & preview
is the perfect way to think about it🌈

Remember that groundwork, which is previewing and preparation,
is essential to utilize limited time more efficiently🌳

That is all for today's output!

Let's also review the content we inputted this time properly💛

Towards a new life starting in April🌸

The "crucial moments" as a working professional
are the first opportunities that come along,
such as the first year of joining a company, the first year of changing jobs,
or the first day of taking a post due to a transfer.

I want to keep in mind that all impressions
are formed during these first opportunities.
And I want to continue learning about how to "prepare"

and the important points to seize the first chances that come my way
and become a business person expected by those around me.
And above all, to seize opportunities
and quickly become


"a new employee who will be active in the future", I want to strive to practice the attitude and specific actions for working🔥

2. Reply to emails within 24 hours

3. The 'purpose of work' changes the world

4. Systematize and gamify simple tasks

5. Carrying a bag is a treasure trove of opportunities

6. Work efficiency is determined by the 'last 5 minutes'

7. The ratio of preparation, execution, and review should be 3:3:3

8. Ask questions while showing your notes

9. Review is everything in work
