Make valuable contributions to your organization

Develop yourself.
Change with the demands of your new position as an executive. You are likely to fail if you keep doing the things you successfully did before becoming an executive.

Develop others.
Raise the sights and standards of everyone with whom you work, so together you can get desired results. For example, organize seminars and training programs or send them for further education.

Gain full knowledge about the products and services of your organization.
Focus on looking at things from your clients' perspective - what they need, what they see, and what they understand.

Help others make valuable contributions to the organization.
Ask your superiors, subordinates and colleagues what contributions they require of you to contribute to the organization effectively. In short, find out what they need, how they need it, and in what form.

Build productive relations with others within the organization.
Warm feelings and pleasant words are meaningless if there is no achievement, so you need to build work-focused and task-focused relationships with others.

Have effective meetings.
Know exactly what you expect to get from a meeting, report or presentation before indulging in them. This prevents you from wasting time.
