With a new year approaching,，many people have an “out with the old and in with the new” mentality — and work is usually a big part of that. If you’re feeling that way, here are several tips that can help you become better at your job in 2015.
_______
One of the most common mistakes made by both managers and employees today, is that too often, both are afraid to come to the table and talk about essential issues. Taylor says, “Fear of conflict is so overwhelming (无法抵抗的), but if you communicate bravely, more frequently, and honestly in 2015, and you’re not afraid to work through conflict, you’ll likely reduce your stress and be a better worker.” Too much time is spent reflecting on misunderstood employee communications, which, if left unaddressed, eventually leads to conflict.

“Your boss controls your destiny (命运) so it’s in your best interest to get to know them better both personally and professionally,” says Andy Teach, author of From Graduation to Corporation: The Practical Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder One Rung at a Time. “It doesn’t mean you need to be friends with them or hang out with them, but you do need to learn what makes them tick. The more you communicate with your boss, the better it is for you.”
________
“Share ideas with context and a clear path for implementation (执行) for the leader to evaluate. The more you present any issues with recommended solutions and then implement those solutions in a timely and effective manner, the more the leadership team will rely on you and think about you for future projects and new responsibilities,” Meador says.
________
If you’re already an overachiever, have been called a “workaholic,” or are generally exhausted, then you need to slow down and break the habit of setting impossible goals for yourself in the New Year. You may have to readjust and expect, say 75% of your workload to be achieved in a set period in order to feel fulfilled. If you’re a manager, this approach may take some of unnecessary pressure off staff, too.
________
“Your industry is changing all the time and you need to keep up with what’s happening now,” Teach says. Most industries have trade magazines or websites that have the latest news in that industry. It’s important to read these so that you are well informed and can discuss recent industry events and changes with your co-workers, supervisors, and management. Information is power.

A．Study your industry.

B．Avoid common mistakes.

C．Don’t overwork yourself.

D．Get to know your boss better.

E. Improve your communication skills.
F. Always come to the table with a solution.
