I enjoyed reading the article “Why Some People Get Promoted (And Others Don\u2019t)<\/a>“. \u00a0Unlike many other in this domain, it is simple, direct, and to the point. \u00a0TLDR version:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do great things.<\/li>\n
  2. Tell people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There are quite a few links to external resources, with research and insightful quotes. \u00a0Here are a couple of my favorite bits:<\/p>\n

    \u2018[S]ent does not mean received\u2019<\/b> is a profound thing. Half of your job in this studio is doing your work, the other half of your job is communicating that it\u2019s been done. Because if you do it, and I don\u2019t hear about it, how do I know what\u2019s going on? I\u2019m not trying to control everything, but in an intimate work environment, where we\u2019re really trying to develop something complex, a nod, saying, \u2018I got it,\u2019 helps move things along.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    And this part, which resonates with my inner blogger:<\/p>\n

    Asking for help is part of getting better at your job.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    3. Work where people can see you.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Gaining visibility might require going outside your office. Maybe you have a side project, or maybe your work culture isn\u2019t a healthy environment to pursue visibility.<\/p>\n

    Promoting yourself doesn\u2019t have to be on someone else\u2019s terms. Write a book, start a blog, make a side-project, collaborate with new people outside of work, or speak at panels and conferences. Tell people about what you\u2019ve done, what you\u2019re doing, why it\u2019s important, and how you did it. Give talks, teach others, raise your hand for new projects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
