Hire Steve

Have you ever seen a co-worker promoted before you when you were more qualified?

Have you applied for a job, not got an interview, then checked out the LinkedIn profile of the person they hired – only to find that person did not have your qualifications?

Is there anyone at your company higher up the ladder who doesn’t have your qualifications?

Working Hard Doesn’t Get You Promoted

If you think being the best at your job will get you noticed and get you a promotion, you’re in for a long wait. People who move into management aren’t promoted because of their hard skills. They have soft (management) skills – which they developed.

You have to PURPOSELY develop business soft skills if you want to move up the ladder and make six figures.

Create Your Career Plan or Wait to be “Noticed”

Executives aren’t born – they make themselves. The tools they use are called management skills (not management talents) for a reason.

Would you like to create a written, long-term action plan to get your next promotion quicker, and land the job after that, and get invited to a board of directors, and be asked to speak at a national conference and get to the C-Suite (or get a gig as a department director) before you co-workers?
