A manager I was working with was excited in the hope to finally get the promotion he thought he deserved. He thought he had everything lined up to gain his promotion into the executive ranks—from achieving clear results to having the support of his immediate manager. Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to him, another leader above him blocked his promotion because of a past conflict the two of them had. It took him a long time to recover from this setback, and also cost his company the loss of his motivation and discretionary effort. Getting promoted is a major milestone in one’s career. It’s important! That’s why Manbir Kaur’s book Get Your Next Promotion is so critical. Every leader, manager, ambitious professional and anyone involved in human resources should read it and share it. It breaks down exactly what you need to know to think strategically about your career and accelerate your success. Add it to your must-read list
