You
want a helping hand from your Bad Boss to get up the company/corporate ladder?
Help you get that promotion you lust after? Good luck! Never gonna happen.
Not
to worry! There are two outstanding ways for you to give yourself that helping
hand, suggested by Dan
Schawbel:
“Become a subject matter expert. If you want to stand out at work and gain visibility
and recognition, you need to be an expert on a particular topic. If you’re well
versed on a topic, and it’s important to the company, people will be knocking
at your door and your value will skyrocket. You will be given opportunities to
present to other teams and you will be able to demand promotions because you’ll
have the leverage to do so.
Take
on projects outside of your job description.
If all
you do is what’s listed in your job description, you can’t get ahead at work.
You must always push yourself outside of your normal job activities to take on
additional responsibilities. 58% of managers are either very willing or
extremely willing to support an employee who wants to capitalize on a new
business opportunity at work. By taking on additional projects, you will
further your next [advance], develop your skills and be better positioned for
leadership opportunities.”
Excellent advice!
