Iāve been promoted 10 times over my 15 year career at 5 companies.
Hereās how I did it:
1. Have no expectations, eliminate entitlement and patiently play the long game
2. Be truly exceptional in your current role - donāt underestimate how long it takes to achieve mastery
3. Clarify and communicate your long term career goals including your ideal next step - it is not up to your manager to do this for you
4. Demonstrate you can do the next role by taking on key responsibilities of that position - you donāt need to ask permission to solve important business problems
5. Become indispensable to your manager and seize learning opportunities to take projects off their plate
6. Lead by example by exuding optimism, assuming positive intent and helping others - especially through tough times
7. Donāt complain about problems - design and implement solutions that drive real results
8. Act like an owner - donāt let your current job description hold you back from doing what is required for the business
9. Respond to inevitable disappointment gracefully and donāt give up
10. Choose the riskier path to join a startup as those environments create more opportunities for growth than bigger companies
