Here's how you can impress your superiors with strategic thinking and informed decision-making.

Data is very vital in both cases. To impress my superior and most importantly myself, I will use data insight to understand the present, analyse the past and plan for the future by working smart and prioritising the important deliverables and reducing risk that will hinder my key results. In the case of informed decision making, the foundation to impress has to be built on data too. The data I have will be analysed and presented to my superior while incorporating collaboration to deliver key results. After delivering key results, we will however, focus on predictive maintainance and post maintainance.

- Consistency in doing the right thing. - Focus on all assignments like your life depends on it. In otherword; do it like you'll want your own to be handled. - Integrity - Give your loyalty in total

Honestly, if you can speak to the ROI on a project you'll stand out from the group. Generally management wants strategy framed in the makes money/saves money/reduces risk paradigm and concisely explaining things in those terms will go far to impress.

Normalmente eu ocupo os cargos de chefia e desenvolvimento dos alicerces do plano de negócios de onde atuo, mas ter sempre o objetivo do negocio com conhecimento das metas como se fossem degraus a serem subidos passo a passo, bem como compreender os processos para o cumprimento das metas, bem como ter consciência de como alcançar os objetivos com o orçamento previsto são chaves para a boa execução de uma pratica lucrativa e de eficácia garantida!

We should focus on data-driven decision-making. That said - collect and monitor relevant data, analyze it to identify trends and patterns, and use this information to forecast potential issues. Propose proactive solutions and present data-backed arguments for our decisions. This demonstrates that our choices are strategic and grounded in reality, not just guesses.

In our recent quarterly review, I presented a data-driven analysis showing the potential ROI from upgrading our refrigeration systems, which supported informed decision-making and garnered praise from Ownership.

Identify Relevant Data Sources: Use sales reports, customer feedback, financial statements, and performance metrics. Utilize Analytical Tools: Employ tools like Excel, Tableau, or Python for processing and visualizing data. Detect Trends and Patterns: Identify recurring trends, outliers, and patterns to inform strategic decisions. Evaluate Past Decisions: Assess outcomes from previous strategies to learn from successes and failures. Forecast Future Outcomes: Predict potential outcomes of future actions and initiatives based on data analysis. Ensure Thorough Analysis: Conduct comprehensive, unbiased analysis focused on data aligned with organizational goals.

Data is key, but it cannot just be raw data but an informed data. We can be plucking data all over the place but still don’t make sense. Data must be congruent, correlated (positive or negative) and must be timely.

Go Beyond the Surface: Don't just look at raw data. Use critical thinking to identify trends, patterns, and potential implications. Use the Right Tools: Familiarize yourself with data analysis tools relevant to your industry. This could include anything from Excel to more specialized software. Consider Different Perspectives: Analyze data from multiple angles, considering various stakeholders and their interests.

Tailor Your Message: Adapt your communication style to your audience. Use clear, concise language that resonates with your superiors. Be Confident and Persuasive: Back up your ideas with evidence and present them confidently. Practice your communication skills to become more persuasive. Listen Actively: Pay attention to feedback and questions. Be open to different perspectives and adjust your communication accordingly.

Clarity and Conciseness: Use clear, straightforward language to convey your message efficiently. Audience Awareness: Adapt your style and content to match the knowledge and preferences of your audience. Active Listening: Pay attention and seek to understand others' perspectives before responding. Visual Aids: Use charts, graphs, and visuals to enhance understanding of complex information. Logical Structure: Organize your message logically with clear headings and bullet points. Feedback Integration: Incorporate feedback to clarify and refine your message. Confidence: Deliver your message with confidence to inspire trust and credibility.

When proposing the new budget plan, I ensured clear and concise communication, breaking down complex financial data into actionable insights, which facilitated smoother decision-making for the leadership team.

This is where all ideas fall out the picture. Be bold and be purposeful. Do not open your mouth mindlessly. Choose your approach. Think of it as a battle field, do you lay down all your armaments in one shot, or do you build your defenses and plan your attack. Decision making involves multiple stakeholders. And knowing hot buttons of each of them will help in furthering your cause. A good communicator invites open discussion and not shot down ideas and close doors.

We should clearly articulate our thought process and the reasoning behind our decisions. When discussing IT operations, avoid jargon and explain technical concepts in an understandable way for stakeholders. Translating complex IT issues into business impacts demonstrates our ability to think about the organization as a whole, a valuable trait in a leader.

ter iniciativa e força de vontade é uma das maneiras de melhor progredir seja na area que se esta atuando, com proatividade se obtém resultados que normalmente superam os procrastinadores, sem o culto de que fazer da maneira mais rápida e fácil é que se chega antes... antes chega quem mais cedo começa e que começa fazendo da melhor forma possível

Actively seek opportunities to improve processes or implement new technologies that align with business goals. By proposing innovative solutions and leading projects, we demonstrate foresight and a proactive approach, impressing our superiors with our commitment to continuous improvement and alignment with the organization's objectives.

Recognizing a gap in our logistics process, I took the initiative to implement a more efficient tracking system, which not only streamlined operations but also earned commendations from the higher-ups for proactive problem-solving

Identify Opportunities: Look for areas where you can make a difference, whether it's improving a process, solving a problem, or proposing a new idea. Be Proactive: Don't wait for instructions. Take the initiative to get things done and show your superiors that you're a self-starter. Learn from Mistakes: Not every initiative will be successful. Take responsibility for your mistakes, learn from them, and use them as an opportunity for growth.

By identifying potential risks in our supply chain early on and developing contingency plans, I was able to mitigate disruptions, demonstrating to my Ownership my ability to anticipate and manage risks effectively.

We should develop and present comprehensive risk management plans that include preventative measures and response strategies. Our ability to anticipate and plan for risks will establish us as a thoughtful and responsible manager, impressing our superiors with our proactive approach.

Identify Potential Risks: Conduct a thorough risk assessment before embarking on a project or making a decision. Develop Contingency Plans: Have backup plans in place to address potential risks. This demonstrates foresight and preparedness. Communicate Risks Transparently: Be honest with your superiors about potential risks. This builds trust and shows that you're not afraid to address challenges head-on.

as mudanças no mundo corporativo são tão reais quando as mudanças das estações do ano. somente quem tem maleabilidade e jogo de cintura consegue ultrapassar as dificuldades de maneira mais adaptavel, e efetivamente pode oferecer estratégias de um ponto de vista diferenciado

When we decided to adopt new industry technologies, I embraced the change by leading the integration process, showcasing my adaptability and commitment to keeping our operations ahead of the curve.

This is where looking at a bigger picture, using data and effective communication comes to play. Be an expert on something that you become the go to guy. You must be an agent of change and have an open mindset. When you have the ownership of things, you have the influence to be effect change and improvement.

Stay Informed: Keep up with industry trends and developments. Be aware of new technologies, tools, and methodologies that could benefit your organization. Be Adaptable: Don't resist change. Embrace it as an opportunity to learn, grow, and improve. Champion Change: If you believe a change is necessary, don't be afraid to advocate for it. Present a well-researched case to your superiors and explain the potential benefits.
