Written by on November 1, 2022

Do you want to be more successful at work? If so, you’re not alone. A lot of people are looking for ways to improve their work performance and grow professionally. Luckily, there are a lot of things you can do to make this happen.

Let’s look at Jane who is already successful by most standards. She was leading a department at a prestigious law firm, responsible for a large proportion of the firm’s revenue, and was well known in her industry.

The problem was that despite all this, Jane still felt overwhelmed and inadequate. She constantly felt like she wasn’t doing a good enough job and she was always stressed about juggling her different projects.

Jane thought that she could do better even though her colleagues were already impressed with her performance. But the thing about Jane is that she is finding ways to improve work performance.

12 Ways to Improve Your Work Performance
Jane wanted to keep accelerating her progress, so she followed these steps. She consistently invested time over many months in her own personal development using the methods regularly used and taught by coaches.

After just a few short months of focused effort, Jane’s performance at work skyrocketed even higher and she was promoted to lead all her law firm’s sales and revenue efforts. Jane didn’t stop when she reached a stage in her career that other people thought was successful.

She kept pushing for her own satisfaction and improvement. When you ask people about their motivations, the most common reason people seek out a big change in their career is for self-improvement. [1]

No matter who you are and how far you’ve come, if you feel like you could do better and grow professionally then there are always some proven ways to improve your work performance. By trying some of these steps, you too can supercharge your performance.

Setting and Monitoring Your Goals
The first step is to set and monitor your goals. You have to begin at the basics whether you are already successful or not. Setting and monitoring your goals makes them more achievable and specific.

1. Set Specific Goals
Set goals for yourself that you can track and measure. Having specific, measurable goals will help you stay on track and motivated as you work. The goals should be personal to you, not just “business goals.”

For example, if you work in a commercial role, don’t think about “winning more business” as a goal. Instead, consider improving your negotiation skills as a more tangible goal that helps you perform better.

Or if you work in an operational role, perhaps consider a goal like improving your ability to influence leaders. That could be used in multiple ways and across your entire career.

2. Get Feedback
There are always things to improve on at work. Once you have a list of potential goals, it helps to discuss them with other people to get feedback on them. Talk to your boss, your colleagues, your friends, or even a professional coach. Ask for their opinions on what you’re looking for and what could help you move up in your career.

This will help to validate or invalidate your ideas and give you some different perspectives to consider. It’s also a good way to start building a network of supportive people around you that want to see you succeed.

3. Track Your Progress
You need to hold yourself to account. Writing down or tracking your goals in some way is an essential part of this. It could be as simple as keeping a journal or using a spreadsheet.

But the key is to make sure you review your progress regularly, ideally once a week. This will help you stay focused and motivated to keep going.

4. Take Time to Reflect
