职场妈妈如何成为公司高管？

    自我管理

    每个季度对自己进行绩效评估，不管其他人是否在这样做。要成为解决问题的人，而不是提出问题的人。务实、宽容、明白自己不可能同时拥有一切，也不可能无所不能。保持专注，学会忍耐，这和有耐心不同。看起来很难吗？与你独自抚养三个孩子，还要重返校园深造相比呢？明白了吧，其实这也没那么难。

    任何事情都要努力做到最好

    不论你是否已经意识到，除了打造你自己的品牌，其他任何事情都是在浪费你宝贵的时间。在电影《落魄大厨》（Chef）中，乔恩•费儒饰演一位有才华的厨师，正在为新的流动餐车业务而努力。他的儿子在餐车上帮忙，有一天为了节省几分钟时间，儿子给一位客户一份免费但有些煎糊了的古巴三明治。大厨从他手里抢过来。儿子争论道：“有什么关系呢？他又没有付钱。”大厨严厉地看着儿子说：“我喜欢做饭。我擅长这个，我也想与你分享。通过做食物我可以影响到别人的生活。这让我坚持下来并且爱上了它。现在，你认为我们应该把那个三明治给顾客吗？”后来，儿子做了一个新的三明治。（财富中文网）

    Manage yourself

    Give yourself quarterly performance reviews, even if no one else is. Be a problem solver, not a problem presenter. Be realistic. Be forgiving. Realize you cannot have and be everything at once. Focus and learn patience, which is different advice than being patient. If this seems difficult, try doing it while raising three children alone and going back to school. See? Now it’s not so hard.

    Never give anything less than your best

    Anything else is a waste of your precious time. You are building your own brand, whether you realize it or not. In the movie Chef, Jon Favreau plays a talented chef struggling to build a new food truck business. His young son, helping him in the truck, one day attempts to save a few minutes by serving a free but slightly charred Cubano sandwich to a customer. Chef grabs it from his hand. “What does it matter? He’s not paying for it,” his son argues. Chef looks hard into his son’s eyes and says, “I love this. I’m good at this and I want to share this with you. I get to touch people’s lives with what I do. And it keeps me going and I love it. Now, should we have served that sandwich?” The kid makes a new sandwich.
