Polish Your Skills and Delegate Your Shortcomings

In order to rise above the competition in your field, it’s important that others perceive you as an expert at what you do. This requires you to take action, as there is more required than simply saying that you are an expert.

We all can develop expertise in what we do. To become an expert, here are few easy steps to begin with.

Be Well-Informed — The most important thing to consider is how knowledgeable you are in the task you are attempting. Say you are a member of an organization’s maintenance department and you want your co-workers and supervisors to consider you THE one to see about all things maintenance: it’s imperative that you have the knowledge base to back yourself up.

  • Keep current with the latest technology and developments in your field through continuing education – check out the classes offered at local colleges.
  • Read everything you can. Whatever your chosen profession, educate yourself about it as much as possible – the library is a good place to start.

The more you know, the more confident you’ll be. Think of one expert who didn’t believe in themselves and their ability to accomplish what they set out to do. Are you able to name one such person? Probably not! Confidence grows as knowledge increases.

Show People What You’re Capable Of — Rather than telling someone what your skills and talents are, show them instead by actually taking on the task.

Experts show what they can do by taking action, not by telling everyone who will listen to them how good they’ll be at it. You will be empowered to take control of difficult situations or problems that you’re involved in.

  • Act in a proactive manner. When you see a problem, act immediately to unearth a solution. When you’re not sure of the answer, find someone who is. Experts still learn new things often, and they aren’t afraid to admit that.

Develop Outstanding Communication Skills — It’s up to you to let people know what your skills and talents are and why you are the best person to suit their needs. Therefore you need to be able to comprehend and anticipate others’ concerns and questions, then develop and disseminate solutions.

  • Great communicators aren’t just telling people what to do. Communicate in such a way that your colleagues learn and are empowered.
