Hmm…Februari telah datang dan ada yang bilang Februari merupakan bulan “Cinta” tapi buat saya Februari merupakan bulan fokus di karenakan Ujian Akhir Smester telah menunggu, mau tidak mau saya harus mengesampingkan dahulu acara-acara yang terkait dengan cinta *lebay*, Well, maksudnya bulan ini saya harus lebih fokus pada pekerjaan dan kuliah saya untuk terus meningkatkan kinerja dan prestasi di luar maupun di dalam.

Ada sedikit kesulitan memang dalam mengatur waktu antara kerja dan kuliah, walaupun antara dunia kerja dan dunia pendidikan sudah saya alami dahulu semenjak sama masih duduk di bangku SMK. Pada saat itu saya Magang di salah satu Perusahaan Fast Food di bilangan Jakarta Barat. Terbilang cukup sibuk juga karena pada awalnya saya masuk pada hari sabtu dan minggu saja, namun seiring dengan berjalannnya waktu, penawaran dan tuntutan kerja juga pastinya mengharuskan saya masuk pada hari-hari biasa yaitu dengan masuk setelah saya selesai menuntut ilmu di sekolah, lalu sorenya saya harus berangkat kerja, Kurang lebih 2,5 Tahun saya melakukan itu terus menerus dan pada akhirnya saya lulus dari dari SMK dengan berbekal pengalaman kerja yang bisa di andalkan.

Lulus dari SMK saya di terima pada perusahaan teknologi yang cukup terkenal dari situ saya belajar banyak hal tentang teknologi yang memang sudah menjadi passion saya sejak kelas 2 SMK kurang lebih 3,5 tahun saya berkarir di perusahaan tersebut, artinya tahun kemarin 2010 saya masih di perusahaaan tersebut. Tapi tahun 2011 saya sudah berada pada perusahaan berbeda dan mulai berkarir sebagai seorang software engineer yang memang impian saya untuk mempelajari dan berkecimpung dalam dunia tersebut.

Tulisan ini mirip biografi yaah ? Hahaha… Well, kembali lagi pada kalimat saya di atas yaitu tergantung bagaimana kita niat untuk melakukan sesuatu dan berusaha menjaga niat baik tersebut tetap pada tempatnya. Share yang baik, Lempar yang buruk. Kutipan dari “Islam KTP”  TEBE: Be…apa bapak bilang kemaren ? Iya..Pak. ambil yang baik dari bapak dan buang jauh-jauh yang buruk dari bapak.

It’s a good time to aspire to IT stardom.

For one thing, there’s the growing number of IT leaders who enjoy celebrity status, people like Gregor Bailar (the former BankOne CIO who retired early to become a consultant and philanthropist),

J.P. Rangaswami (managing director, for BT Design with an active blog and online presence), Douglas Merrill (Google‘s former CIO, wooed to go to EMI Music). Then there are the top-tier CIOs who command million-dollar salaries.

“Put yourself out in front of the crowd, be highly visible. Once you do
public speaking often enough, you realize you have nothing to fear.”

John Halamka, CareGroup CIO

Moreover, companies’ view of IT itself is changing. Companies are looking for IT leaders who can be bona fide business strategists, which means more control, power and opportunity.

But
you can’t capitalize on such opportunity, unless you’re getting
noticed—and getting talked about. Quite simply, “being a best-kept
secret will not deliver the promotion or raise,” says publicist Wendy Serafin, principal of PR and marketing firm Nifares Group.

To make sure your unique talents and value stay—or get—in the spotlight, try these six ways of generating buzz.

1. Make friends. Often.

“A crucial piece of your job is actually to make friends with people at [your] company,” says Penelope Trunk,
former software industry marketing executive and current career
columnist. Being hardworking and demonstrating excellence is important.
However, Trunk points out, there’s lot of research that shows people
would rather work with someone who’s likable
and incompetent than those who are competent but not likeable. “And we
also know intuitively that the boss always promotes the person they
like the best.”

Being a star
is about buzz, and buzz is created when people talk about you. And “if
you don’t have friends, no one’s going to talk about you,” says Trunk.
So put down that project work, and get away from your desk. Wander
around the office and strike up random conversations. Go to lunch with
coworkers, talk about common interests with your boss. Bring in bagels
for your team. Above all, make sure the adjective “isolated” can’t be
applied to you.

To those who consider themselves too shy
or introverted for networking, Trunk minces no words: “Get over it.”
Isolating yourself is career suicide. Socializing doesn’t have to be
hard either, Trunk points out. Those who find such social activities
difficult may be putting too much pressure to say something sparkling
and witty, she says. Simply being genuinely interested in others and
friendly, revealing a bit about yourself, and being a good listener goes a long way toward connecting.

2. Practice public speaking.

CareGroup CIO John Halamka—who demonstrates his own brand of the supremely productive CIO—became so interesting to those watching him—as a geek doctor blogger, rock-climber, vegan, Japanese flutist, medical RFID chip implantee— that he became a star in a BlackBerry ad.

Socializing doesn’t have to be hard, Trunk points out. Simply being
genuinely interested in others and friendly, revealing a bit about
yourself, and being a good listener goes a long way toward connecting.

Penelope Trunk, columnist and author of The Brazen Careerist

Like Trunk, Halamka emphasizes making social connections. “Look for any opportunity to not be in your office,” he says—and in front of an audience.

Halamka
also stresses the importance of talking in front of groups. “Put
yourself out in front of the crowd, be highly visible.” This applies
not just to seasoned pros, but to those early in their career as well.
“Even early on when my roles were much smaller, whenever possible, I
put myself in the public eye in public venues inside and outside the
organization to speak about the kind of work we were doing. Don’t be
shy.”

That may easy to say for a guy who gave a PowerPoint
presentation on a Jumbotron in front of 30,000 people at Gillette
Stadium near Boston, but what about the rest of us? Start small, he
says. He recommends starting with small groups but emphasizes that you
should continue to challenge your comfort level as often as you can.
“Once you do public speaking often enough, you realize you have nothing
to fear,” he says. After presenting in front of 10 people, you realize
you can do 50, then 100, and so on.

3. Practice open—and frequent—communication. And hold the jargon.

Halamka
believes that people’s interest in him is a direct result of something
he holds core: communication. “It is absolutely key,” he says. To that
end, he uses broadcast e-mails, public speaking and blogs to give as
many folks as possible insight into his plans, doings, and
accomplishments. He believes communicating on such a large scale
creates openness and trust that isn’t possible with a multitude of
single-person or small-group e-mail threads. And such public
conversations have a side benefit: “I actually avoid having to write
hundreds of individual e-mails,” he says.

Halamka’s openness
is not for the faint of heart, but his information sharing provides a
lesson for all: Your colleagues, managers and customers are more likely
to care about what you are doing, root for your success and help out
when things get tough if they have clear visibility into what your
daily workings and projects are. “The consequence of being so public at
everything is that you become a personality,” says Halamka. Being known
as a good communicator makes others perceive him as more human, he
adds. Being extremely visible with your communications turns you into a
real person, not just “a CIO” or “a developer” and therefore
others—even your customers and vendors—interact with you in a different
way.

Of course, some of that communication should include talking about
your achievements. You don’t have to be an obnoxious self-promoter, but
you need to share your successes with others. And a key piece of that
communication is quantifying your achievements (which must include work
on visible projects the company deems important) in terms of dollars.
“So many people think they are the exception to the rule, ‘my job can’t
be quantified in cost,’” Trunk says. But such ability is crucial. For
one thing, talking numbers arms others with justification on why you
should be given a promotion or raise. If you don’t know how to do it,
go to a resume consultant or other professional who can teach you how.
One important point: Keep both your written and verbal conversations a
jargon-free zone. Communication should be simple, clear and
easy-to-understand. Remember, communication is a two-way process: If
your audience doesn’t understand what you’re saying, then you haven’t
communicated.

Get noticed and get talked about: “Being a best-kept secret will not deliver the promotion or raise.”

Wendy Serafin, principal of marketing firm Nifares Group

4. Participate in social networks and media conversations about your passionate interests.

Contributing
to the conversations on Web 2.0 venues and more traditional media
outlets can allow a greater number of people to see you as an expert in
your field, create new job opportunities and aid in recruitment efforts
as your company’s Google presence grows. (And as a side benefit, such
participation will help you learn about new things that matter to you.)

You should be participating in the social media forums that feel relevant for you: blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook
and so on, says Trunk. “We’re past the point where you can successfully
self-promote by just telling your message to everyone and expecting
them to listen, it’s about conversation, and social media is the way
people are having conversations.” Trunk says to make sure you are
genuinely engaged with people—the worst thing you can do is participate
merely to promote yourself. Such activity will turn people off from you
(having the opposite effect you’re looking for) and could get you
labeled a spammer by the site.

On top of building your general
media presence on social networks, you may wish to be written up in
more traditional publications and websites. One way to get a bit of
visibility is to leave comments on online articles that you care about
in a respectful, intelligent way (and be sure you spell-check), along
with your full name and contact information. Also, don’t be shy,
either, about e-mailing writers to tell them you enjoy their work.

After you know you that you’ve established presence either through
such participation or by some other publicity you’re sure journalists
would see as relevant, Serafin suggests introducing yourself to
journalists you admire through e-mail, by phone or at a conference, and
offering yourself as a potential article source.

And be patient, says Serafin. It takes time to cultivate relationships with reporters, sources and thought experts.

5. To promote your personal brand: blog, blog, blog.

“I
can’t stress enough how important blogging is for your career,” says
Trunk. Blogging is the way to move ahead even if your company has no
intention of letting you grow. “Blogs tell how good you are based on
your ideas, independent of your experience, so people with good ideas
can get ahead very quickly by blogging about what they’re interested in
excelling at.”

Halamka also believes in the importance of
blogs. Blogging is a way to create your own strong brand image.
Halamka’s blog has allowed him to brand himself as a tech evangelist
and innovator.

Since blogs can get people into trouble—both in terms of privacy and
your relationship with your employer—Serafin recommends caution. For
instance, be very careful not to spill any of your company’s secrets,
she says. And don’t say anything you wouldn’t say in other public
venues: The Web is not anonymous. Also, “learn first, blog later,” she
says. Do some research by studying industry publications, blogs and
articles that interest you. What topics are already covered? What are
the readers’ comments? Is your idea still unique and original? Is it
newsworthy? “Better to research first before putting yourself out
there, and lose credibility right out of the gate,” says Serafin.

Trunk
has a different take. Since in today’s world, there is no such thing as
long-term employment, she says, your blog is to promote your brand
(i.e., you), your ideas and the things you care about. People change
jobs an average of every two to five years, and careers every seven,
according to research, Trunk says. This means “you will need to
publicize yourself over many career and jobs.”

She recommends
creating clear goals about where you want to go, then it will be very
clear what you should be blogging about. But even if you’re not clear
on where you want to go, blogging can be a great way to find out, says
Trunk. Because of the time commitment (you should be publishing at
least three times a week) and because writing rarely flows unless
motivated by passion, it’s virtually impossible to blog on something
you don’t care about, she says.

“Be yourself, and don’t worry about showing too much of yourself,”
says Trunk. “That will generally be fine with company and if not and if
not, you should ask yourself why you’re at or want to be at that
company.”

Halamka also lets his personal side show through. He says that some of his more personal blogs— why he wears only black,
for example—are among his most popular. But he does note that the
work-personal balance is tough to strike in a blog. The key: “Honor
your own comfort level,” he says.

Success is not easy or simple. Even in the best of times, workplaces are fraught with changing conditions, political jockeying and limited room for advancement. And these are not the best times.

Yet some IT staff manage to get noticed—and in all the right ways. What are the secrets of their success? How do some IT leaders manage to shine?

Beyond the basics—energy, enthusiasm, passion for the work—four important behaviors can help catapult you to success, say CIOs and executive recruiters.

Be good to your end users.

First things first: If you want to get ahead, don’t make people feel stupid. This advice can be especially important for IT folks, whose technical expertise can create a danger of doing just that.

“People outside of IT won’t necessarily understand tech speak, so you need to present information in a manner so they understand technology and what it provides to the company,” says John Murphy, CIO of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Biloxi, Miss. Murphy’s ability to do so has helped him in the executive suite with other C-level colleagues. “I’ve been able to translate technical information to them in the manner they can understand and assimilate and in a way that shows the benefits to the big picture,” he says.

Randy Jackson, CIO of the city Surprise, Ariz., says understanding how techology fits into users’ lives is key to creating innovative IT solutions.

Thinking hard about how to help someone else understand what you’re saying may seem obvious for important presentations; doing it day in and day out may prove more challenging. But don’t dismiss those small, cumulative interactions. “You develop an opinion about people over time,” says Gerard McNamara, Managing Partner at Heidrick and Struggles, an executive recruitment firm. In those daily interactions lie many opportunities for you to distinguish yourself by your energy, enthusiasm, and likability. This way, when a more senior job opens up, the support to put you in the position is there—not just from your boss, but also from other senior leaders. “We’re all human,” says McNamara. “People pick people they like.”

To make sure your likability quotient is high, focus on being open-minded, says Randy Jackson, CIO of the city of Surprise, Ariz. Make it a point to really listen to what someone is saying and process what you’re hearing. Doing so conveys respect, and you also are likely to develop solutions you wouldn’t have otherwise.

End-user problems—large and small—are opportunities to build relationships that can advance your career, says the Hard Rock’s Murphy. It’s all in how you handle those situations that makes the difference. “Don’t make an end user feel dumb for not understanding; make them feel good about coming to you and asking what the problem is.”

Go beyond the walls of IT and learn the business.

IT leaders who want to move up must become business-savvy. Not just so you can talk the talk. Without understanding business users’ work lives, it’s impossible to deliver optimum technology solutions.

Marc Probst, CIO of Intermountain Healthcare, credits much of his own success with understanding how IT fits into his end users’ work processes. He says that IT staff who want to climb the ladder must also “become intricately involved in other areas of the business.” To get intimate knowledge of nurses’ and doctors’ challenges and how IT can solve them, he meets with the medical staff regularly, even accompanying them on rounds. He also makes it a point to educate them on the technology. His philosophy on the subject to his staff is clear: Get involved with business users. “Go door to door,” he says. “Meet with them and their teams.”

Marc Probst, CIO of Intermountain Healthcare, emphasizes that IT staff should understand business processes.

Jackson also considers such advice crucial. “IT affects every department within city government, so we need to understand how those departments work and how best to deliver tech service that meets their needs.” He says he wants his team to “give the customer some tool they may not even have thought of, that they can look at it and say, Wow, I’m glad we came to you.” That’s only possible, he says, if you understand how other groups are run and the challenges they face. Developing such a rapport also helps discourage the tendency of business users to create a shadow IT department. “If you don’t solve their problems with good solutions, they will go around you,” he says.

Understand the organization’s structure and goals.

If you want to move up the ladder of success, you need to create strategic IT. To do that, you need to know what top management values. “Every company has a culture,” says McNamara. “And those cultures reward different things.”

Key to moving ahead is knowing what to prioritize. This means, for example, knowing which projects to volunteer for and how to promote them to those above you. “Knowing what the business defines as valuable is increasingly important the higher up you go,” says Murphy. “So you’ve got to understand goals, and how IT can be used to achieve those goals.” He recommends not just looking for ways IT can create value but also being responsive when opportunities present themselves.

One place where this comes into play is the IT budget. “Managing IT like a P&L is key to moving up,” says Probst. IT should be adding value and helping differentiate the business. However, that’s not possible if an IT leader’s goal is simply saving money. Build into that budget what you need to do to create value. “Of my direct reports, 80 percent do that,” says Probst.

Build trust with your boss.

Trust is the glue that binds relationships together inside and outside of work. Without it, moving up is virtually impossible. And honest communication is a huge part of building trust with your manager. Share the good news—and the bad.

Avoid the temptation to sweep bad news about a project or assignment under the rug. You may think you’re sparing your boss. But Probst and other CIOs say it’s better to overshare than to undershare. The trick lies in knowing when and where to share information.

Probst says to sit down and talk to your manager about how to communicate when problems come up. “I don’t like when information feels filtered, like something is being hidden. That will slow you down real fast,” says Probst. “I want to know what’s going on.”

Murphy agrees with Probst’s take. “I’d better know before my CEO calls me and tells me what’s wrong,” he says. “The last thing anybody wants is to be broadsided.”

Information sharing, when it comes right down to it, translates to respect. “I think that it’s very important to use chain of command in place and not circumvent your manager. It’s his or her job to make you look better to the organization. And if you don’t have that kind of trust you should look for someone you could have that with,” says Murphy.
