The Road to Promotion

One of the most important reasons most people give when asked why they chose their particular profession is that they thought that this certain work would be challenging, offer them personal fulfillment, social recognition, and a feeling of self-worth. The outward sign of such recognition is being promoted at work Considering all of the above, we might well ask who gets promoted in American companies today

Most people who gain promotions are, first of all, well educated Many hold advanced degrees in science law, or engineering Those who are promoted to president of the company, most likely first served as vice-president They all tend to be mobile and willing to go wherever the company wishes to send them.

They do not seem to be getting younger Although ageing is touted as a distinct drawback to advancement those promoted to high positions in industry average out at about age forty-seven Most vice presidents and presidents of companies say that staving on the job for about five or ten years is important

In most cases, those who get promoted have beta with the company for a long time Twelve years is the average length of time during which the promoted executives served their company Most of those promoted had work experience in the fields of finance or administration.

There is an indication in recent surveys which points to the fact that personal determination and ambition are the most obvious factors that decide promotion. People who get promoted have been highly goal-oriented Obviously, the employee who never dreams of getting to the top usually just doesn't make it there.

Dedication to the company and especially to the boss also helps as does being liked and accepted by one's fellow employees, but these personal aspects are not as important as they used to be Education and professional competence have become the key considerations

If these trends continue, the new upcoming executive will, probably, be more competent than was his predecessor.
