Can YOU really be Promoted in your Current Job?
54Why IS being "Irreplaceable" a Career Disaster for YOU?
When I talk about your promotion, I’m referring to a promotion based on MERIT and SKILLS - not promotion based on politics, political correctness, diversity, popularity, bribery, extortion, blackmail, or... (more at - opens in new window.)
YOU can be promoted only if YOU can promote and replace yourself! In other words, you cannot move up unless there is someone to replace you! (Also seeWhy is your Career like an Apple Tree? - opens in new window.)
Most people don't know THE easiest and most effective way you can do this.
FORGET about making yourself "irreplaceable!"
Instead, make yourself "RE-placeable!" Make yourself upwardly mobile by developing your own Operations Manual so you can train someone else to do your job(s).
"WHOA Mike! What the heck is an Operations Manual?"
Please let me explain. An "Operations Manual" is simply a document that tells someone (your replacement) how to do a given job. For example, if I hired you for a position in my company, I would hand you that position's Operations Manual...
... so you could WIN at that position from the get-go!
When you give your replacement your Operations Manual, you will KNOW that your replacement will have no problems inheriting your old job. S/he will not be calling you with questions and problems because you made sure that s/he started on a winning track...
...And s/he will be ecstatic about being promoted to your old job!
Imagine this: With confidence, you shake hands, congratulate each other, and wish each other well. You grab your briefcase, and leave for your new office. As you walk down the hall, you realize how easy it was. You’re even planning how you’re going to get promoted again - because now you know a fast way to “move up the ladder.”
