One thing that should cling in your
mind once you have landed in a job in the first instance is what should be the
next thing after that. In our current dynamic and aggressive world, you should
actually try to figure out how you are going to formulate a strategy that will
enable you to climb up the ladder in the corporate ranking. It is actually apparent
that no one wants to remain in the same status quo as you see other people whom
you were in the same level with successfully advancing to greater heights and
positions.
Furthermore, it comes out clearly
that as you rise in the corporate ladder, it comes about with mutual benefits
in terms of hefty salary compensation; more exposure to new responsibilities
that will positively challenge you, great corporate networks that will boost
your career path among others. But what you should understand is that promotion
cannot be an abrupt transition thus it doesn’t come that easy; if you want that
promotion, you have to prove that you deserve it by starting to act now in
order for it to come from acknowledged authority.
I have also come to realized in our current
job setup environment, there has been a paradigm shift in the structure of
rising up the corporate rank. In the past, there was this fallacy that
individuals would only be promoted only along specific career line which is an
absolute contrast for today. Actually, recently I was to learn that a guy in
our neighborhood who was actually an accountant has become the CEO of the
company yet he had not actually been in the human resource department. What he
had portrayed were exceptional leadership skills.
You will come to realize that some
of the adduced facts that will actually contribute to your promotion include:
1.
Let
your consistent good performance will speak out for you
Are you committed in a way that you
can perform beyond your allocated duties? Can you handle the pressure and beat
the deadlines for different projects? Is the continuum of your general
performance since you joined the organization positive? If the answer for the
above questions is yes, then you are definitely at a high chance of receiving a
promotion indeed! Furthermore, your positive representation of the company’s
image due to good performance can also boost your chances.
2.
Maintaining
a good professional relationship with
your boss
One of the things that you need to
understand is that your boss has a high influence whether or not you are going
to get promoted. By creating a good rapport with your boss can imply that he or
she would be in the position of assisting you to rise on the corporate ladder.
You can allude your motives for promotion professionally to your boss in a way
that actually reflect that you simply deserve a promotion.
3.
Create
an interconnected chain of network in your organization
It is indeed apparent that in the
society we are living, the more you are linked to a large number of people, the
more the chances of fostering and expanding your career path. This is because
many people will understand what you are capable of performing and they may
most probably recommend you for a promotion suppose a chance arises.
4.
Knowledge
is power, acquire it and it will open bigger doors of promotion
There was a time a friend of mine
was working as a banker but he decided to enroll privately for his Masters
degree. Surprisingly, sooner after he had just graduated, there emerged a post
for operations manager which required to be filled. The bank conducted internal
recruitment and good enough he was found competent for the position.
Immediately he was promoted and started enjoying the benefits that come with
promotion.
Other emerging issues like
showcasing your teamwork skills, building up your chances of promotion through
maintaining corporate behavior can also facilitate your chances. But you should
understand that Constance Chuks Friday stated that “Discipline is strength to
the muscles your heels will need to climb up the hills of greatness”
