At the start of my career I was under the impression that working hard and doing great work would get me promotions. Over time, I was met with the harsh reality that hard work alone does not progress you forward in your career and that there are TWO other elements you have to focus on.
#promotions in a business is like to ascend the corporate ladder but you realize that there is more to career success than being a top performer, and that a person also
needs to bolster their image and exposure.
Promotion is boiled down to PIE which stands for 3 factors to determine career success:
Performance:
Definition: How well you do your job
Attributes to Career Success: 10%
Image
Definition: How you are perceived by people who work with you
Attributes to Career Success: 30%
Exposure
Definition: People know what you’ve done and how it matters to the organization
Attributes to Career Success: 60%
