3 common promotion mistakes for career professionals:
(and how to fix them Today)
1. Outcome Over Process
↳Think of your promotion as an outcome. Obsess over and act on the inputs: the skills you need to acquire, the experiences you need to demonstrate, the showcasing of your achievements, and feedback you need to incorporate.
2. Not Communicating Aspirations
↳Clearly and explicitly communicate your career objectives with your manager and skip-level(s). For example, are you are aspiring for a lateral move, a change in job family or progression to the next level? Periodically review these aspirations for progress and changes.
3. Not Taking Ownership
↳Demonstrate your commitment towards career growth by initiating and executing a career growth plan. This plan should define your development goals over the next 1-2 quarters. Leverage mentors and your manager(s) for review and support.
