Improving Your Promotion Prospects: Getting to the next level

Episode #289 // “In the absence of your ability to handle pressure at your current level, your boss is going to think twice about promoting you”

Although every episode of No Bullsh!t Leadership is peppered with practical guidance on how to improve your leadership confidence and performance, I’ve never given you the specific recipe for improving your promotion prospects — until now!

In this episode, I lay out a holistic inventory of the things that contribute to your promotability.

As you listen, you can make a mental note of the areas where you think you have a pretty good handle on things, and the areas where you may still be a little weak, or need to focus more attention.

I’ve managed to condense my thinking into the 10 key areas that affect your promotability. I go into each one in turn, in just enough detail to describe clearly what that area is and, wherever possible, I provide you with links to the podcast episodes in our back catalog that give a more in-depth treatment of that particular area. 

If you really want to get serious about improving your promotion prospects, download our free PDF companion resource, which will enable you to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses through the lens of what your organization values most. 

And, if you’re a business owner, don’t skip over this one, whatever you do! It’s an essential checklist of the precise capabilities, attitudes, and behaviors that you’re looking for in the people you’re hiring.
