I read the following article by (http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-promotions-work) by L. Kolowich and thought it was interesting. The reason may be of interest to you.
Being promotional and/or promotable are positive terms. L. Kolowich gave you keys and tips that are familiar to many of us. But what happens if advancement or success is not imbedded in the culture of your work environment? What do you do? Most have never thought about that. In past we used the terms "being groomed for success", "fast track to success", and "climbing the corporate ladder". The question is what does that look like today for you? Well it varies doesn't. Every industry, business, and organization is different. Did you know that most "kick-ass' companies those who position for growth, profit success usually have a model of that for employees and those employees become part of a culture. Well, what happens if yours is different. Then what. That's why I like the term "planning for success".
Maintaining a position of success is beyond the promotion because emphasis is on achieving "planned" success. The latter prepares you to advance. It means I have a model that allows me to calculate, re-calibrate and adjust to changes in order to maintain career focus and the next level of advancement. For example those on the fast track advance sometimes at a rate 3:5 rate which is typically 3 times faster than most of us. They have 3 jobs/promotions in 5 years and they account for the adjustment. This may mean moving from one state to the next, changing climates, getting used to new friends etc... Then there are those who have steady growth. Each year is intended to be different from the next with a growth model of "new things learned, special training and promotion and a new job or position. Whatever the method or path of success you choose you should plan for it.
I have a leadership model that is great for these type of discussions and questions and view points. I'll be providing more information about the 5 Points of 3i Leadership model but it allows you to see what promotion may look like for "you" with your network of people. This helps you plan for success. Good opportunities may be plentiful in one company and not so plentiful in another. What does promotion look like in both those scenarios? How do you navigate through challenges? When to know when to transition is critical to success. It often lies in what- your goals, your needs and viable opportunities.
I'm excited about the 5 Points of 3i and look forward to sharing with you more about having a plan for achieved success.
