How To Bag That Promotion
February 3, 2009
Who are the guys who get those promotions? Is there some thing different that they are doing that maybe I’m not doing? What is it? I’ve been working so hard but no bells are ringing for me. What?
We all want to believe we are the best, yet we find many guys making it to the next level and we trailing behind. Well it all boils down to doing a better job then the Joe’s and the James. Remaining focused on your work is just part of climbing ladders of success. As good a worker you may be, it’s all about understanding your boss’s vision. He may have his own boss, but as far as you are concerned he is your boss. Understanding how he works is of utmost importance to your success in the ladders of his fame.
When you know how your boss thinks and functions you are in a truly commanding position in making it where ever you want in terms of success. You have all kind of bosses from the very smart quick puritan types to the extreme left on the other side. So the key to your success is finding out whom and what your boss is all about. Some bosses want to be master of ceremonies at all times.
The spotlight must always fall on them. They may not deserve the credit but sure as hell they want it 100% all the time. Imagine you trying to tell the big boss you were the creative mind behind the design with a boss like that. On the other hand you may have a boss who pushes his younger work force to the forward when they do a good job. So no matter just how good you are at your work unless you can tag along the boss, you are not going to make it up ladder for sure.
So having established the effectiveness of how important the team player is we can move on to other things that make the cutting edge when it comes to stepping stones to glory. Ironically when it comes to your support staff you need to play a totally different game of cards.
Show your co-workers how to get their work in order. Go into the details of their difficulties. Clean up their system so under you, have a fine tuned working machine. By doing so you are effectively showing what a super ‘leader’ you are.
