ARE YOU FIT TO CLIMB THE CORPORATE LADDER?




Be so good they can’t ignore you – Steve Martin.

(1) Stretch your boundaries.
To get promoted, you have to go above and beyond. Taking on additional responsibilities without being asked is not only a great way to demonstrate your skills, work ethic and energy…but it also lets your boss know that you’re ready and able to expand your scope.

(2) Don’t be too irreplaceable.
The best way to find a balance between doing your best and showing that you’re ready for more is by developing other people. Plus, teaching is a critical leadership skill.

(3) Demonstrate Emotional Intelligence.

(4) Make certain you speak the company’s language.

(5) Don’t be afraid to ask for it.

Promotions don’t just happen and they’re not a guaranteed result of high performance. That’s because you don’t get promoted as a reward for what you’ve already done. You get promoted because your boss thinks you have the potential to add more value in a larger role.
