If your company is going to downsize today, do you think you will be left behind?

In this case, generally those who can stay have their own core competitiveness in the workplace.

So today we will talk about how to build our own core competitiveness in the workplace?

In the workplace, everyone has different values, and people with core competitiveness have irreplaceable workplace values.

For example, if you are the chef of a restaurant, the business of the restaurant is very good, but as long as you take a week or two off, the restaurant will have fewer and fewer guests, and no other chef can replace you. Your cooking skills are your core competitiveness in this restaurant.

No matter who the boss cuts off, he will not cut you, because once you leave the restaurant, the boss will suffer huge economic losses, and even may lead to the closure of the restaurant.

So how do we build our own core competitiveness in the workplace?

You can try to work hard in the following three directions.

It only takes 3 steps to build your own core competitiveness in the workplace

1. Create your own scarcity

The so-called "scarcity is the most valuable thing" is the same in the workplace. If you can create your own scarcity in the company, you will have a core competitiveness.

Take the restaurant as an example. In a restaurant, your colleagues can only cook Chinese food. The customers are tired of the dishes before and want to change their tastes. At this time, you just studied some western food, so you integrated Chinese food and western food, developed some new dishes, and the customers liked them very much. The most important thing is that only you can cook these dishes, which is scarcity.

In the workplace, it is important to do well, but if you can create your own scarcity in the company, it is equivalent to taking a shortcut and taking fewer detours than others.

Scarcity is not even a skill sometimes, it is more a kind of competitiveness that others do not have, but you have.

For example, if you know many talented people with creativity, capital, technology and channels, you can bring them together, which is your core competitiveness.

Because once these people lose you, they can't do it. You act as a glue in the team. Without you, everything will fall apart.

2. Be the best in the profession

For ordinary workers, the simplest and clearest way to avoid being eliminated is to be the best professional and become an expert in this field.

However, if you want to take this road, you must be prepared for "10000 hours", and this "10000 hours" may only be the basis for becoming an expert.

If you want to be the first, you must keep working hard. While working hard, you must follow the pace of the times and constantly update your professional knowledge. Otherwise, even if you are the first today, you will be surpassed by others tomorrow.

Of course, it is not easy to be the first in the industry, but you can try to be the first in the company, so you can also be irreplaceable in the company.

3. Combine different skills

If you think it is too difficult to be the top of the industry, you can try to combine different skills like playing games.

For example, your position in the company is sales, but at the same time you have fluent English, so that you can seamlessly connect with foreign customers. This is general sales, which can't be compared with you.

You may like cooking very much, but there are many chefs in real life who are not professional enough to compete with others. Now short videos are very popular, so you can learn the shooting skills and try to make short films of your cooking experience.

The advantage of combined skills is that if there are 1000 people in a single skill A, and you want to achieve 90 points, you have to compete with 900 people, and the same is true for skill B.

However, there may be only 500 people with both A and B skills. If you want to achieve 90 points, you only need to compete with 450 people.

If you are the only person in the company who has both A and B skills, and these two skills are needed by the company, you will have absolute core competitiveness in the company.

As for which of the three methods is suitable for you, you need to judge according to your own actual situation and the characteristics of your work and the company.
