While power is something cultivated over  time, there are several tactics you can begin to use  immediately.  Incorporate these ideas into a long-term  strategy. Any short-term gains in power are easily lost.  Keep a long-term perspective, but get started  today! You can build power quickly with these  techniques:   1. Keep your eyes open for unique  opportunities. Maybe your department  needs someone to liaise with the finance  department. This might be an excellent  opportunity to make new connections. 2. Know the department that matters the  most. As an example, Coca-Cola creates  many of the raw ingredients that are used  in the production of their soda. Another  department procures raw materials from  outside sources, such as corn syrup.  Another department produces and bottles  the actual soda.  • However, the various departments that  fulfill these roles aren’t the true source  of power at Coca-Cola. Marketing and  sales run the company. You’ll never  become the CEO of Coca-Cola  without being in marketing and sales. 3. Consider where you will thrive. The  powerful department might seem the to  be the best choice. However, most of the  competition lies there, too.  • A less influential department might be  a better choice in the early part of  your career. For example, rising in the  IT department at Coca-Cola might be  relatively easy. Then you could move  to a company that specializes in IT  and you’ll already have a head start on  your career. #podcast #podbean #podcastersofinstagram #viralpodcast #spotifypodcast #picoftheday #cocacola #podcastersunite #applepods # --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/support Subscribe today and join a community that’s growing stronger every week.
