Great managers are made. Not born.
We all start off our career with great aspirations and dreams.
But for a shocking 70% of us, these dreams will never come true.
No promotions. No influence. No status. No executive paycheck.
Many people think that career success is for the “privileged few” - those who graduated at the top of their class from Ivy League schools, or who somehow started their career off with a bang, or who just got a lucky break.
But after 35 years of research, I can assure you that none of these privileges contribute to career success.
What does count, though, is active career management.
In fact, if you don’t work towards landing your first promotion within the first five years of your career, your chances for further promotion could be reduced.
This doesn’t mean that you’ll never be promoted. What it does mean, though, is that it is never too early to manage the next step in your career.
And always remember:
Great managers are made. Not born.
