Are You Ready For A Promotion?

Getting promoted is often in the back of our minds as we work our way through life.  When it comes time to start thinking seriously about stepping up at our jobs most people find themselves googling “how to get promoted” or “what to do to get a raise” – we never seem to think about what not to do, or whether or not we’re really ready.

 How well do you know your company?  How well have you done there?  Are you the star of your current position but haven’t yet outgrown it?  To what extent do you understand the overall goals of the company?

In this article seen on Forbes the author, a personal growth specialist, outlines some of the biggest mistakes we make when going for that big promotion, and most of them probably haven’t even crossed your mind.  In order to be the best version of your work-self you have to balance the dos with the do-nots, and putting in the time to really look over these areas might just be the key to discovering whether or not you’re ready to take the leap to the next rung up that professional ladder.
