Who knew the key to be successful at work was to find someone at work to help you get ahead? Listen to Carla Harris give her Ted Talk on how this works in the corporate world.
Its very interesting the concept of finding a sponsor at work to advocate on your behalf. This nails home the fact that you cannot be successful at work without people on your side. Even for entrepreneurs and founders, this tip is also applicable. It can apply to not just employees, but clients as well. To be successful at work, you need others to sponsor you – great tip!
Another great point in this Ted Talk is the idea of performance currency and relationship currency. Every time you deliver that which was asked and a little bit extra you generate performance currency and this gets you noticed and helps you get a sponsor. Every time you engage and interact with people you get relationship currency – very interesting!
