Jadi gmn cara kissing-ass yang baik dan ethical? (ada cara non-ethical, tapi bisik2 aja)

Secara garis besar ada 3 hal yang perlu kita lakukan buat panjat karir:
1. Manage up ⬆️
2. Manage peer ➡️
3. Manage team ⬇️

Mari kita bahas satu-satu

Manage Up (1/3)

Orang paling penting untuk diurusin adalah manager kita. Mereka mempengaruhi 80% karir kita (promosi, kerjaan, arahan)

Regardless kerjaan yang udah di-assign, kita ambil satu kerjaan manager kita

Benerin process, lead meeting, run survey

Ask for weekly 1:1

Jangan lupa untuk memikirkan diri sendiri

Start career conversion sesering mungkin (at least sebulan sekali)
1. Gimana cara promosi
2. Ada kesempatan promosi atau ngga
3. Ada mentor dan sponsor tak
4. Perlu nunjukin skill apa
5. Perlu beresin project apa

Manage up ga cukup cuma ngurusin manager kita. Kita harus urus:
1. Managernya manager
2. Peernya manager
3. Manager team sebelah
4. Management team (VP+)

Jadi sekali2 ajaklah ngobrol (at least per 3 bulan)

Dengerin sambat mereka
Syukur2 kalo bisa pansos dan bantu

Manage Peer (1/2)

Do your "one job." Do it first. Do it right. . The rest is extracurricular

Sure, product engineer harus bisa mikirin produk, marketing tipis2, design dan interview

Tapi percumi kalo kodingan kita ga berescharity.wtf/2021/03/07/kno…

Manager Peer (2/2)

Pro-tips: kalo WFO, beli mini donat JCo. Donatnya banyak sehingga bisa dibagi banyak orang. Dan gula bikin orang hepi

Pro-tips: people bond well with alcohol 🍷 dan/atau rokok 🚬. Mletre atau sebat lah bareng. Saya sih ga sebat

Manage Team (1/3)

Ada risetnya kalo di US 1 on 1 sama team biasanya weekly. Kalo di Asia monthly

1 on 1 is a good way to keep your team happy and engaged. Jadi saya prefer weekly

Bisa buat share berita2 ajaib tanpa bikin kaget, karena kan toh ketemu tiap minggu

Manage Team (2/3)

Your goal is to make your team happy and feeling empowered but not lost

Somewhere between micromanaging vs neglect

Figure out the right goal. Undercommit overdeliver is the way to go

Manage Team (3/3)

Pro-tips: cover them when they screw up. Take the blame and responsibility (and mean it)

Do it once, and they will remember this for the rest of their life and in their future careers as well

The bar of being a manager is that low, sadly

Books to read:
1. 48 Laws of Power (cara jadi berkuasa tanpa punya kuasa)
2. How to Win Friends and M̴a̴n̴i̴p̴u̴l̴a̴t̴e̴ Influence People (cara manipulate orang)
3. High Output Management (manusia itu resource)
4. First Break All The Rules (manusia itu galau)
