1 single secret Promoted

With Robin Cabin

I mean, a lot of high-performance, ambitious people who, like it was my own business are frustrated before the start, at work. This frustration is centered about a separation between work and they want the work they have done. Often see her (but expensive) immediate supervisor and a level above to make directly responsible.

Since other makes blaming powerless to change ourselves by our standards, it is not particularly useful - regardless of the law, it might be a previous error.

Instead, it is what is more constructive.

(Described here) During the last eight years of my corporate job, I was missing the key that he would open the promotion desperately sought. And the funny thing is, it's not my address was deliberately secret. This means:

been take in the spirit of promoting and instead all my efforts and initiative comes at a higher than 1) level to work raised (preliminary results), 2) have exactly the kind of company management seeks shown and 3) there was a hell of a lot more fun.

not to say companies, the future promoted this little secret for a number of reasons (and none of them are scary or devious). Business leaders have much easier nut to keep reasons.

First, they fear that if the ambitious staff recommended to break and swim the railways, where and how they want, will cause chaos. They fear that the company's structure shake culture shake penetrated deals, and people come together. There will be many bruises and bandages. In other words, things will be out of control. And if something hates corporate governance - there is a loss of control.

Secondly - and perhaps even more basic is common - many managers do not realize that they are looking for someone who is already doing to the next level when they say: "I am for this X-factor in search" or " it's hard to put into words but I know it when I see it "about the prospects of promotion candidates. What they really mean is, "I'll believe someone the skills and resources necessary to carry out the next stage, when they begin to act more like me."

And who is this "I"?

Business leaders are of course, as so varied a bag of Skittles, but the common belief, a few of them to share and how to lead .

• We believe they have talent -after all, told them again and again for years. They think they have a sense of superior business. This belief is based on the unique combination of any of three things: education, experience and track record in their development "hunches".
• They believe in everything that the company would be better if they only had time to personally engage with Details Unfortunately, they do not, they are forced to depend on others -. His personal. Employees who have the greatest weight on them, convey a greater confidence that decisions are best suited to their own - if they do - win. That's the simple truth.
• They believe that skills are important companies -. Great owners - have worked hard to develop the knowledge and skills of materials and of each level. And these are important to know and master. However, if you think that you, by getting promoted the boxes, do not waste your time. You're not going anywhere because ... the leaders also believe that entrepreneurial skills are limited. Any function or power management leadership requires intuition and business sense - two things that are difficult to articulate difficult trained in, and not proactive measure.

To examine today the behavior and actions of the most successful in this role. Add your point of view and unique strengths to the mix and set off as if the job you want.
