Corporate life is not only about the work you deliver. The relationships you build and how you interact impact your journey - @rkabushenga #40DayMentor #TwitterSpace on How to Get Ahead.

To determine how to get ahead, you need to have an honest decision with yourself on:
✓ What ahead means for you.
✓ What ingredients you need to go ahead.
✓ Tools you need to get ahead are determined by what represents progress to you.

"What progress means, varies from one person to another.

Whether it means getting to the top of the hierarchy,

Recognition as employee of the year or making lots of money,

Be in charge of the process of your getting ahead. Nobody else will.

@rkabushenga #40DayMentor

Develop a personal agenda that represents your progress, whatever it is you want to be.

You will never get ahead on your own. You need to relate with other people.

@rkabushenga #40DayMentor #TwitterSpace on How to Get Ahead.

Remember one thing - develop people skills. If you are prickly and people cannot stand you, you will never progress beyond where you are.

If, however, you invest in being likeable, if you are personable and easy to relate to, that's a good beginning. @rkabushenga #40DayMentor

How do you relate to people? Do you accommodate them? Do you understand them?

Are you somebody people are drawn to? It is this attribute that people will then feel has to be rewarded with either recommendations, getting entrusted or elected to lead.

There is no point in being a hermit unless you want to be a monk. If that is the objective, you can stay away from people, live in a mountain and contemplate the rest of your life.

But, if you want to get ahead in a social setting, learn how to relate.

@rkabushenga #40DayMentor

Be able to accommodate different cultures. Forget the prejudices you learnt at home.

You need to be open-minded. Understand that there are different people in the world with different cultures.

Learn what makes others tick.
