HOW TO GET PROMOTED AS A FINANCIAL PROFRESSIONAL?
Do we need the same skills in each level of our careers?
At the different stages of your career, you will need to unlock multiple behavior traits, skills, and knowledge to land your next promotion.
When you are just starting, what is expected of you is to execute with excellence.
Once you get your first promotion and stop being a junior analyst, you need to be a problem solver, self-direct yourself, and be a valuable player who inspires your teammates forward through TOP class skills.
Once you are a front-line manager, you must demonstrate you take the right decisions, hire exceptional talent, and direct your team to conquer excellence together through innovation, execution, and idea proposals.
As a manager of front-line managers, you must strategize, be visionary, leverage, trust your team, network across the org, and demand excellence from those below you.
Each step closer to the TOP, the most excellence you must deliver and expect the same from the ones under your care. The upper you go, the deeper your connection, commitment, and love for the company must be.
If you want to be promoted fast, you must do the following:
1. Never stop studying, improving yourself professionally.
Make sure you are a rounded professional that will never stop giving value to the company you own or work for.
This does not mean getting academic titles.
But, never stop reading, staking new skills, and networking with experts in your field.
2. Work for a company you admire, love, and respect because you need to fall in love with it to dedicate yourself truly to its success.
If you cannot find it, create you own!
Be proud of where you work!
3. Work on your written and oral communication skills. Grammar, intonation, executive presence, visuals to accompany your speech, everything must be TOP quality.
4. Have an impeccable work ethic.
Be trustworthy, authentic, always play fair, and treat your competitors, partners, and clients ethically.Your brand compounds with time.
Ensure people know you because you are outstanding, excellent, and honest.
Ensure you are following a career path because you feel passionate about it, not to earn X amount of money.
In the end, what is most important is to give value to our society, to create a fantastic world for all of us.
Do not forget we are here to serve others, work, and make this world better.
Enjoy the ride and achieve your best self.
