Your Revenue Driver
16 September Managing the Boss (...promoted...)
The next time you are on a job interview and the interviewer asks - "Do you have any questions for us? - use this one - only if you have a great answer.
"Are you interested in knowing how many of my previous bosses were promoted during the time I worked for them?"
Success breeds success is a common phrase that I enjoy using - I hope it's true!
As a hiring manager I would be impressed that you realized that your "success" would be realized in the promotion of your manager. It would also reveal that you had been "exposed" to success and that you had a potential network of mentors that had been successful - what an asset!
In the training world I can project two applications of this kind of thinking:
1. Stay in contact with the learners that you supported - be able to report on their career success (perhaps LinkedIn or some such tool will evolve to help us.)
2. Look at the statistics related to the promotion of managers that invested in the training of their employees in relation to the managers that did not invest in the training of their employees. Perhaps they were unable to be promoted because there was not a suitable successor?
