[Guide] in the training of women's core leadership, the promotion of their own degree of acceptance has become a very important factor. Love is the most important nutrition of life, but also life itself. Improve their own degree of acceptance, but also to improve their career vitality.

The IT industry has traditionally been seen as one of the few women employees, Tencent Science and technology News (Wang Dan) reported March 8. Throughout the industry, the proportion of female employees is significantly lower than that of men, with ordinary employees, management, and senior management, and the proportion of women descending from layer to top management, with women becoming a handful.

But there are always a number of women who are working the road and doing their best. How can these High-tech "lala" get a promotion in the context of rapid change, intense competition, and the company's political severity, and how to be a mother and family at the same time as a successful career? Are they intelligent, favored by fate, or diligent, not giving up?

2010 3.8 Women's Day, Tencent Technology interviewed Microsoft China Human Resources Director Kang Yingtao, as well as a number of High-tech enterprises as middle managers of young women, and invited the Asian Institute of Positive Psychology, "Happy Teacher" Fujan for High-tech female practitioners to teach the workplace password.

It women have to endure three major challenges

Yia Zhifang (Dianna Yao) has been involved in sales and sales management in the software field for more than 10 years. He has served as general manager of a well-known domestic software company, and is currently a global customer sales director of a multinational software company, and has changed jobs 4 times. Dignified elegance is the image that Yia Zhifang shows to the outside world, who can infer from her gentle appearance and gentle tone that this is a high-tech strong woman?

It is reported that Yia Zhifang more than 20 years old on the responsibility of the founder of the Shanghai Branch, with a tenacious, do not give up the momentum to achieve outstanding results, all the way to the general manager. Now, more than 30 years old, she led the team with hundreds of millions of yuan per year of sales tasks, hard and happy, and believe that there are more promotions in "waiting for themselves."

However, Yia Zhifang in the enjoyment of success, but also bear all aspects of pressure and fatigue. Once, on a business trip from Tokyo back to Beijing, she was almost in shock on the plane for days of tiring work.

Yia Zhifang says the more than 30-year-old woman is facing three challenges in the workplace:

First, children and family, this is the most important "even more than my life", but raising children to pay a lot of time and energy, which is bound to conflict with the cause;

Second, the second challenge women face is health and energy, "I now obviously feel less energy than before," more than 10 years of hard work in the workplace has almost never stopped, the brain is turning, the body in turn, even if the child is also a three-month holiday to start work, which is very harmful to the body. " So it's very challenging how you can compete with even younger men your age.

Third, women over 35 years of age if they do manage, is generally in the middle of the enterprise, in the whole workplace, whether state-owned enterprises or foreign companies, this is the most pressure, the most tired of the crowd.

"These three areas of pressure overlap, it is likely to crush a woman, so they are likely to choose to give up." Yia Zhifang deep feeling to Tencent technology revealed.

Women's careers also need to build brands

Chen Lining, a graduate student at Tsinghua University who has been sent to college for more than 10 years, has been so passionate that colleagues often ask her, where did you get so much passion and energy? Chen Lining told reporters that my energy and motivation is a great part of my 6-year-old son.

"If you do not travel or special circumstances, I come home every day is 7:30, in the 1.5 hours before 9:30, I will always accompany the children, and he played piano or play, after 9:30 to the nanny to take him to sleep, I do other things." Every morning at 7, the son ran to the bedside to call a mother, this day I am very happy. ”

Like Yia Zhifang, Chen Lining has been engaged in sales and sales management work, as well as hundreds of millions of yuan sales mission. She looks capable and outspoken with her simple short hair. How can a person with complicated interpersonal relationships escape the corporate politics and go all the way up?

Chen Lining admits that he is not the kind of person who dares to ask for a promotion from his boss, but the boss to the task, always do the best to complete, long time, can form their own stable professional image, "The boss and colleagues know that you do the project can be successful, so the boss and colleagues are willing to support you, so you can get more resources To achieve more success; when there is a chance for advancement, the boss will naturally think of promoting you. ”

This sounds like a modern version of the "wine is not afraid of the alley deep", but the secret of Chen Lining success, is definitely not simple "peaches and plums, seikei", but let "very strong executive power" to become their own professional image, imperceptibly to get colleagues and superiors trust.

Be a "sly little Woman": appreciate the other half

Facing the woman how to be a good housewife this vulgar but always be concerned about the topic, Chen Lining revealed his habitual use of effective "trick" is not to work "strong" side to take home.

"My husband went to Tsinghua at the age of 14, he was very clever, but he has been engaged in technical work, and I do sales, external resources more than he, so it seems to be ' strong ' some." But Chen Lining says that although she has a strong hand, she is always "not here, not there" at home, so she simply gives the family the right to decide.

"In addition, to manage the expectations of the family, continue to instill in him and introduce him to the surrounding colleagues, let him know: I work is really busy, take the child's things need you to spend more energy." Chen Lining said.

As for some of the most powerful women in the society who are either single or divorced, Yia Zhifang that in choosing the other half, the values of mutual recognition are the most important.

Yia Zhifang's husband used to be her subordinate, but it affected both sides of the relationship. "I respect him very much." I will not say that I have made more money than you, the position is higher than you, you simply become a family woman. We are all sales, often sharing work experience and experience, he made a little bit of success, I will be from the heart to the outside, heartily happy, I will encourage him to do very well, I encountered difficulties, he will also give advice. "Yia Zhifang said.

"Everyone pursues a career goal that is not the same, maybe I just want to be a manager, he may feel that doing a senior sales is very good." So we must respect each other. Yia Zhifang said, "And I am very strong at work, never bow to difficulties, and very confident, but in life, basically nothing." I really depend on him in my life. ”
