做到这三点，就能在工作中脱颖而出

“透视《财富》500强”是一个互动社区，《财富》500强公司的高管会在此与全球的读者交流思想，提供领导力方面的建议。本期的问题是：请列举有助于在工作中脱颖而出的三件事？答问者是通用电气基金会总裁兼主管通用电气波士顿地区开发与运营的副总裁安.R.克利。

我经常回顾过去的经验教训，如今的工作中也在持续学习。我发现无论任何种职位、身处哪个行业、哪个级别，以下几点经验都是适用的。

团队合作

可能乍一听比较难理解，但身为团队的一员反倒更容易吸引别人注意。加入团队后你会有机会在公司各个部门结交新朋友，增加存在感，提高知识和技能水平，从多种角度观察并理解事物。孤狼是不会成功的。不管是平级的同僚、导师还是领导，团队成员和同事会是你最庞大的后援团。团队获得成功，你也可以借机拓展人脉和视野。

增长才智

没有谁一入职场就是专家，也没人对刚入行的新人抱这种期望。不过如果想事业取得进步，就要热衷学习，积极听取建议。我从刚工作开始就保持学习的心态而且一直持续到今日，这是我养成最好的习惯之一。我在通用电气公司接受了新职责后，比如领导通用电气基金会，而且安排将总部迁往波士顿等等，也发现保持学习心态格外重要。

我一直在学习和适应工作环境。其中部分可以通过仔细聆听和扩大阅读面实现，我也经常找相关专家帮助和指教。随着专业知识增长，你会在相关领域逐渐建立声誉，成为某个领域的“百事通”对你有利无害。你在某个业务领域或者职能方面越精通，你对上司和公司就越有价值。

承担风险

想成功就必须承担风险。无论你是初出茅庐，还是久经沙场，出任新职务或者接手不曾熟悉的新任务，新挑战总会层出不穷，强迫你调整思路考虑问题。我目前在通用电气担任两个新的职位，工作内容都不是我轻车熟路的，但我充满好奇心，对新机遇满怀激情。如果真想让领导对你的工作能力留下好印象，应该努力在未曾涉猎的领域赢得成功。

我当过私人执业律师，为政府部门里一些顶尖的环保机构做过法律顾问，如今在全球最大、也最富创新精神的企业之一通用电气身兼数职。要是你也像我一样在许多机构任多个职位，你就有机会尝试新事物，甚至随着职位上升发现全新的自我。假如你不断学习、不断进步，你的辛苦工作受到重视只是时间问题。（财富中文网）

The Fortune 500 Insiders Network is an online community where top executives from the Fortune 500 share ideas and offer leadership advice with Fortune’s global audience. Today’s answer to the question, “What are three things you can do to get noticed at work?” is written by Ann R. Klee, president of the GE Foundation and vice president, Boston development and operations for GE.

When I think about the things I have learned and continue to learn that helped me advance in my career, there are a few lessons that ring true, no matter the role, industry, or level I was in:

Team up

It may sound counterintuitive, but being a part of a team can help get you noticed as an individual. It gives you the chance to meet (and impress) new people across your company, advances your own knowledge base and skillset, and helps you see and understand diverse perspectives. You will never be successful as a lone wolf. Your teammates and colleagues—be they peers, mentors, or leaders—can be your biggest advocates. Succeed on a team and you will have grown your network and visibility.

Get smart

No one enters their first job as an expert—nor is that an expectation of those just starting out in their career. However, to advance you need to be eager to learn and ready to listen to those around you. One of the best things I did when first starting my career, and that I’ve maintained to this day, was to keep a learning mindset. This continues to be critical as I take on new challenges at GE, such as my current role leading the GE Foundation and managing our headquarters’ move to Boston.

I am constantly learning and adapting to the space I work in. I can do part of that myself by listening carefully and reading, but I also often look to the subject matter experts to help educate me. As you grow in your field, you will build credibility as a subject matter expert, and it’s rewarding to be looked at as the go-to resource in a topic area. The more you educate yourself within your field of business or function, the more valuable you are to your boss and your company.

Take risks

To be successful, you have to take risks. Whether you’re just starting out or have decades of experience, stretching yourself into a new role or taking on new responsibilities that are outside of your comfort zone will challenge you in new ways and force you to think differently. I’m doing this today with my two new roles at GE. I’m working outside of my comfort zone, but I am curious and passionate about these new opportunities. If you want your employer to really be impressed by your work ethic, try to succeed in an area you haven’t worked in before.

I’ve worked as a lawyer in private practice, as counsel at some of the highest-ranking environmental agencies in government, and now wear multiple hats working for GE, one of the largest and most innovative companies in the world. When you’ve worked in as many different roles for as many organizations as I have, you have an opportunity to try new things, and even reinvent yourself as you continue to advance in your career. If you keep evolving and learning, it’s only a matter of time before your hard work will get noticed.
