Wait it out. Seriously, all you need to do during promotion season is to wait for your boss to give you the news that you were promoted. If you did well in the previous months (or years), you can be confident about a promotion. But if not, you’ll know better. So instead of feeling sad during promotion season, prepare well for it by being an excellent and consistent executive. Remember that expectations are higher on those at the higher positions, so make your mark to seal that promotion.
Learning
Observe your workplace and see which areas you can improve on. Be sensitive to how you move around the office, from how you communicate to how you accomplish a task. Executive jobs tend to be more noticed than others, so target all areas when you evaluate yourself and how you fare with others. Ask for honest evaluations from your teammates – from the people on the same level as you are to those who are down the line. Based on their observations, you can capitalize on your good traits and demonstrate them more. As with your negative traits, improve on them on a daily basis, and ask your colleagues for a review again after some time.
Next, discover the things that you can learn to improve your performance. Showing discontent on your current performance by looking for new ways to be more efficient and more productive will surely be noticed. Be creative in doing this, and make it an exciting phase of your work. Commit an hour or so during the day just learning a new skill that you can leverage for your team and your company. You’ll be surprised at how many things can be done with supposedly boring accountant jobs.
