Become a Good Worker
How to become a knowledge worker
The Top 10 Shared knowledge is power-the right attitude to become a
knowledge worker
It's not managing the headcount, it's what's inside the head that
counts.
1. Be confident in approaching people inside and outside the
organization for the knowledge you need.
2. Automatically think who else in the organization will benefit from
the knowledge you have.
3. Be prepared to collaborate with others to create new ideas.
4. Be prepared to suspend your assumptions and engage in open
dialogue.
5. Believe in the value of giving first before expecting to receive.
6. Look for opportunities for collaborative effort rather than
obstacles.
7. Work through the discomfort of loss when you share your knowledge
with others.
To grow and develop we need to periodically attend our own
funeral.
8. Be committed to lifelong learning.
9. Respect and value your own knowledge and learning as a precious
asset that can add value to the business.
10. Genuinely care for others. This means telling people what they
need to know not necessarily what they want to hear.

How do you become a star at work
How do you become a star at work? For more than a decade, Robert E. Kelley has tried to answer that question, conducting in-depth research at such companies as AT&T's Bell Labs, 3M, and Hewlett-Packard. How do average performers differ from stars? Are stars just smarter? Or more self-confident? Or better at interpersonal and leadership skills? The answer, says Kelley, is none of the above: "It isn't what stars have in their heads that makes them stand out. It's how they use what they have."
In How to Be a Star at Work: Nine Breakthrough Strategies You Need to Succeed (Times Books, 1998), Kelley details his research and offers a blueprint to help average performers lift themselves into the realm of the stars. "Most people know that they have a star within them," he says, "but for some reason, it hasn't clicked. They see other people getting ahead, people with roughly the same talent as they have - and these other people are on a faster track. Most people genuinely want to be more productive, do their best, and live up to their potential, but they don't know how to do it."
Kelley is a professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Graduate School of Industrial Administration and the president of Consultants to Executives and Organizations Ltd. His previous books include The Gold-Collar Worker: Harnessing the Brainpower of the New Workforce (Addison-Wesley, 1985) and The Power of Followership: How to Create Leaders People Want to Follow and Followers Who Lead Themselves (Currency/Doubleday, 1992). Fast Company found Kelley at his home in Pittsburgh and asked him to describe what it takes to be a star at work.
