A Harvard Career Coach’s “Unspoken Rules” for Getting Promoted

Cultivate positive relationships with colleagues, supervisors, and mentors within your organization. Networking is essential for career advancement, as it can provide you with opportunities for visibility, support, and mentorship.

Consistently deliver high-quality work and go above and beyond in your current role. Showcase your skills, expertise, and achievements, and make sure your contributions are recognized by key decision-makers within your organization.

Actively seek feedback on your performance and areas for improvement. Use feedback as a tool for growth and development, and be proactive in identifying opportunities to enhance your skills and capabilities.

Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you; instead, actively seek out new challenges and responsibilities. Volunteer for special projects, propose innovative ideas, and demonstrate your leadership potential by taking initiative and making a positive impact.

Develop strong communication skills, both verbal and written. Clearly articulate your goals, accomplishments, and aspirations to your supervisors and colleagues, and ensure that your contributions are well understood and appreciated.
