Everyone wants to be promoted in their field. However there are no real shortcuts. Some smart persons can be promoted within a short period. The others would think those persons are lucky. To be honest, luck is only a very tiny factor in the process of getting promoted. A series of key factors you need to add in your duty in order to move to a higher position. Jack Welch indicates the key factors within 2 sentences.
1) Do deliver sensational performance, far beyond expectations, and at every opportunity expand your job beyond its official boundaries.
2) Don’t make your boss use political capital in order to champion you.
If you wish to be promoted, you should delivery sensational performance to your field, try to expand your job’s horizons to reach the unexpected activities. Those improvements include results, unit’s result and the company’s overall performance. Get on the radar screen which means you should prepare a mind map / blue print of the forecast for the company's initiatives. Moreover, you should care the subordinates with the same carefulness with your boss. Spread your positive attitude around your working field and amassing mentors as much as you can. As there is no one right mentor, there are many right mentors. Finally, you never concerns setbacks. In the crises management chapter, I indicate that the low level staffs are waiting for senior level managers’ solution to solve problem. You should restore yourself with full energy in a very short period whenever you receive failure. Carry out the possible decisions and manage your whole team with ambition is the senior level mangers’ behavior.
