How to Become a Leader 101 Ep.3- "Prrrromotion!"

I'm not quite sure how promotions are done for certain but I do know that if your boss, commander or team leader gives you the chance you should take it. If you do not take the promotion chances are it'll never show up again or at least for a while. If you are not ready to move up and accept more responsibility then do not take the promotion. If you take the promotion and are not up to the added responsibility you'll put a lot of stress on yourself and you'll most likely under perform and have boss/commander/team leader regret promoting you. Don't sweat it if you miss out on the opportunity to take a promotion, if you work hard enough and be on your A-game then your boss/commander/team leader may see this and be impressed and give you another opportunity to be promoted. I remember on my freshman year I took a few SOPs to rank up from cadet to C/private then next year from C/private to C/private first class and then to C/corporal then next year to C/sergeant and C/staff sergeant. SOPs give you requirements that you need to fulfill in order to rank up. I needed to perform these requirements in front of my Company Commander, Battalion Commander and Army Instructor/ Senior Army Instructor. There are times when I have failed an SOP but I always came back after I studied a bit harder and then aced the SOP. There have been times where I was asked if I would like to be the new Battalion Commander or Command Sergeant Major. I was honored, truly, but I rejected all of the offers not because I just didn't want to but because I knew I wasn't ready for such hard and stressful positions.

Sometimes you've gotta take it slow...bro. B)   But if you're a risk taker, go full speed ahead! :sneer:

Summary

-If you are ready for a promotion and the opportunity shows itself, go for it!

-Don't force yourself to take a promotion and don't regret rejecting the offer.

-Work hard for your promotions and impress your boss/commander/team leader, show them that you care about the work you do. Actions speak louder than words.

-Don't go in and expect a promotion, you'll be heartbroken.

-Take a chill pill and take it slow... (but be consistent).
