Someone else has been promoted again. When will your superiors finally notice that you are an excellent worker too and begin to value your contribution enough? If you are dealing with this issue, the following recommendations from managers may help you. The tips were originally published on the HR Communication website.
Do not worry to disagree
Causing conflicts with your superiors is definitely not the right way to get promoted. If you, however, have strong arguments, do not be afraid to tell your boss that you think something else than he thinks.
Do not hide problems
If something is not working properly, your boss should know. Only reporting a problem is, however, not enough. You should come up with your suggestions to resolve the situation.
Do not slander your colleagues
Your boss does not care what you think of your colleagues or what you gossip about them. Your task is to behave professionally and not to burden your boss with useless things.
Do not frown
Smile can do a lot, at least you will look as a nicer companion. Work hard on how to cope with even stressful situations more optimistically.
Write your tasks down
How many times do you think your boss wants to repeat you what you should do? Yes, you are right - only once.
Attend social events
Do not avoid parties and other opportunities to spend time with colleagues in an informal atmosphere. How can you expect to get exciting tasks when nobody knows you?
Offer help
Do not wait until your boss gives you instructions. Ask what you can do to improve the progress of your project, the development of your company, etc. Be proactive and genuinely offer your help.
