Want a promotion at work? Improve your odds by doing these 4 things:
To improve your odds of getting promoted, first set the stage: show that you’re ready for the role, differentiate yourself by demonstrating leadership and build supportive stakeholder relationships. In addition, ensure that they’re thinking about you as promotion material by having “the promotion conversation” with your boss. Let’s dive into each of these.
1. Provide positive framing: start off by saying something positive about your boss, colleagues and the organization. For example, say “I enjoy working for you and appreciate your leadership, as well as the leadership vision of the senior executives.” Sharing this context helps enlist your boss as an ally in your quest. Reinforce that you’re on the same side of the table as them.
5. Try to make your case even stronger by showing how promoting you would be good for the organization. For example, my client made the case that getting promoted from a director to a vice president would enable her to be a more effective advocate for the resources that her department needed, since resource decision-makers would pay more attention to vice president requests.
