And 5 more career hacks

This list encompasses the ‘little things.’ They’re no so little though; they’re very important.

• Be nice. No one wants to work with someone who’s not.

• Be flexible. “The only constant is change” is something you’ll hear a lot, especially if you’re in the corporate world.

• Communicate. Even over-communicate. No one is a mind mind reader. Say exactly what you want/mean.

• Highlight colleagues: On a similar note, a sign of a great leader is when they highlight other people when those people aren’t in the room.

• Be solution-oriented: Coming to your boss with an issue? Come with a (potential) solution too.
