How to get promoted

You’ve been working in your junior administrative position for 26 years now. You’ve not vomited on the desk in eight years and you’ve not stabbed anyone for three. Chances are you’re close to promotion. How do you ensure this happens?

First of all, promotion is NOT about the quality of your work, your attitude or the number of years since the last knife-related fatality. Ignore these elements. You’re kidding yourself and it will only cause you frustration.

Promotion is actually about golf. Take up the sport of golf and try and play against your immediate superior and preferably someone from another department as well. If you can create a situation where someone says to your boss that you’re good at golf, you are guaranteed to climb the corporate ladder.
