There's definitely a plus for being a top performer, but you just can't beat a team of families and friends. They will always hire their people first. I've seen it first hand.

One thing that has helped me in the corporate world is when you have the opportunity to voice your opinion on an issue or rules... Dont just complain about it.. Instead voice your opinion respectfully and offer a solution in the same sentence. Not only do they realize you have a voice and not afraid to speak up, but you’re also a problem solver and managers LOVE

[intelliGENeration]

doesn matter how hard you work. dont get stuck with the wrong manager.

by wrong i mean someone that’s wired differently than you. you can be a dream come true, but the wrong manager will use a race stallion to workthe land... because that’s the only way they know to use their resources.

so run until you find a fitting culture, where people get you.

thats it.

Excellent advice. In my experience, people who exhibit these characteristics do get promoted. And organizations look like they are staffed with clones. Everyone above a certain level has the same demeanor. Everyone below a certain level is an individual with a unique personality. If this comes naturally or you can act, you hit the jackpot. This makes me rethink even wanting a promotion.

[robindeanna]

This is a huge challenge for me because I'm a naturally quiet person that would rather keep to myself more often than not. People genuinely like me, but I'm also not the kind of person that someone would want to emulate or invite out for a birthday. I don't have a choice other than to change, but it's honestly not fair. I like how I am, I like having a strong internal presence and choosing to speak with purpose rather than to put on a performance for others so that they feel entertained. I wish I could be like them, I really do.

"The truth is people only promote their favorite person" :(

2.your nose is brown
3.you’re the boss’s relative
4.you’re naive to their shady tactics
5.you’re related to someone in upper management
6.everyone else is comfortable in their position

Your manager sets the office tone. If your manager is toxic, look for another job. You will be miserable if you stay. The manager will promote others they like, no matter if you're the top performer, you will never get that promotion.

[ilovehouse]

If you are too good in your current position, what motivation does the company have to promote you? You want to be good but not too good. Learn how to ask and fight for what you want. Also learn your value and don’t be afraid to move on if needs be. Good luck to all. This rat race is crazy out here.

Top Performer - Last year I did that and i went to an extent of offering education. And guess who got the promotions? The very 2 new employees i had educated. Sometimes one has to be careful not to be used

At big fortune 500 ompanies, I think there are a lot more politics involved. You need to be visible to upper management and even if you only perform a bit above average, your visibility will get you a promotion.

I know this video is old but I would honestly like to thank you for all your insights and genuine care for helping others. You’re an angel 👼

[ktboarding]

This video is truly fire. I love your insight about the difference between being a strong performer vs. being a top performer. Spot on.

[peteroguntuase]

This is really mind blowing, Linda. Your channel is a blessing to me . I took a lot of clue from your videos before my promotion assessment and became successful. Now this particular video gets me feeling my next promotion is near. The tips are gonna be my 8 commandments in my new role. Good job, Linda

[lisavolpe]

You are so correct, all the individuals I have ever known that have catipolted with in an organization, had several, if not all of these traits.

[Gmanime]

Thank you. This video was, by far, the best piece of information that I needed. Thanks again. I did think the harder you work, the most likely you are to be promoted.

[Divergence]

Work smarter not harder. Be more reactive when tasks come in! Or take on tasks you know that haven't been done in a while to go out of your way of doing. That's what managers like the most.
