Pay Attention in Class

Treat every workday like a school day. Be sure youlearn something and use it to make yourself moreproductive. It doesn't have to relate to your skillsset. It may be as simple as understanding how towork with specific peers or emotional intelligence.Take mental notes. Don't sleepwalk through theday.

Look for the Next Rung You need to excel at your job. This is how you gaincredibility. But understanding your next step is keyto career happiness. Career pathing is critical toremaining engaged on the job. Schedule discus-sions with your manager to get clarity on the nextchallenge. If you don't get it on your team or inyour company, it may be time to look elsewhere.

Understand Company Goals Make sure you understand how your job contributesto your company's business objectives. Are you in arevenue-generating role? A brand-awareness role?Is your mission to delight the customer? Knowinghow your job fits into the big picture will give youinspiration and a sense of accomplishment -- andwill help you understand your job's impact.

Be EthicalBring integrity to your job. Whether you're runningthe company or cleaning its bathrooms, be honestin all you do. Don't call in sick just to get a day off -- that's stealing. Put in an honest day's work. Be

accountable. If you're working remotely, be sureyou are. Do what you say you're going to do. Hon-esty and reliability mean a lot to your manager.

Stay Fit OK, this was probably on your last New Year's reso-lutions list, but that's because it's so important. Tryto break a sweat for 20 minutes, three days aweek. Go for a walk at lunch. Join a gym. Liftweights. A healthy body makes a healthy mind.Exercising increases blood flow to the brain andgives you ideas. You'll be more productive at work,and best of all, you'll feel better.

Stretch Your Role Occasionally think how you can go above and be-

yond. Are there projects outside your defined roleyou could help with? Be proactive; ask to join.Come up with your own ideas, and work with yourmanager to implement them. If you're a hamster,step off the wheel and poke your head out of thecage. Stretch a little. This won't go unnoticed.

Manage Up

Make sure you and your manager are in firm agree-ment on what you're doing. Be proactive and get onhis calendar to ensure you're meeting or exceedingexpectations. Don't assume he's paying close atten-tion. There are bad managers. If there's a disconnecbetween what you're doing and what your managerwants, you're partly to blame. Don't wait until revietime.

Manage Across Even if you work primarily alone, be sure to make tto understand your peers' roles and how they go abtheir jobs. Show an interest. Don't just choose a fewfriends and become part of a clique. High school isover. You never know when you may need people -be reporting to them.

CommunicateDon't leave people waiting for answers. If you're in email environment, return emails promptly. Let peoknow what you're doing. If you're working on a pro-

ject, always ask yourself who needs to know about then tell them. Talk to people; give them a heads upAnd when someone helps you out, be sure to thankhim. It's amazing this even needs to be on a list, bubad communicators abound. Don't be one of them.

Make Time for PlayHave fun. Work hard, but smile while you're doing iNo one likes a grump. Approach each day with a potive spirit and stay loose. Enjoy your family and frie

as well. Make time for them -- and you. It's calledwork-life balance. All work and no play makes life achore.
