SO, YOU WANT A PROMOTION

In the corporate world, promotion to the next position or higher level is a self-motivating factor why employees work seriously hard and try to outpace the competition.

If the employee secures the promotion, not only will it honor the concerned employee, he/she will also get a considerable increase in his/her monthly pay, which is, oftentimes, the end-all and be-all of employment.

In a large beehive of a workplace where there is so much business  to do, an employee cannot merely take the routine 8 to 5 tour of duty and expect an automatic promotion in the succeeding months. He has to scour the whole terrain and discover ho he/she can contribute something more, way beyond the expectations of his/her supervisor and middle management for the benefit of the entire organization.

Whatever skills the employee has must be complemented by a sense of creativity, great initiative and audacity.

In marketing parlance, they say “find a need and fill it.”

The employee who exerts extra effort to find that need and seeks to fill it, will eventually rise up and be recognized for his/her creativity, initiative and audacity.

When you work beyond the normal expectations of your boss, when you seek the betterment of the company and contribute to revenue generation – however small- you achieve a higher level of competence and efficiency that is lacking in the other members of the workforce.

Then, without a doubt, you are on your way to developing yourself as a future manager of the organization.

Now, we are talking promotion, right? if you don’t have the guts, you won’t go anywhere. Remember, 

No pain, No gain.

No guts, No glory.
