Managers have their own career, but yours are dependent on showing your skill level to your manager. If by the time you're ready for a promotion because you've proven to be at the next level, but your manager leaves,... you're back at square one; You'll need to prove yourself to the next new boss.bluestreaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-1459489143652315862008-05-31T11:54:42.000-07:002008-05-31T11:54:42.000-07:00A good rule to ensure your own promotion is to dra...A good rule to ensure your own promotion is to draw out the path with your boss. Make sure the path is for the near future and in detail. List out what it takes for your next promotion. Once your boss agrees to the list, make a timeline for when you think you will achieve each milestone. For instance, plan to achieve the next skill level for project management in 4 months by transitioning from department-specific projects to company-wide projects. <br><br>This way, when you get a new boss before you get promoted, you can at least show the new manager where you are. Also, before your former manager leaves, have the three-way talk with the new person so that your career is not stagnant. Be assertive and put that meeting on both people's calendars. It's your promotion.Stephennoreply@blogger.com
