Today’s topic is about continuing education and bettering yourself. Are you the best version off who you can be? We challenged our readers to send us an email if they believe that they are the best version of themselves. We received a response from one of our listeners. Harris is young manager who runs a team of about 10 people is making about 100,000 euros a year. So why does he need to improve? Although this thought process is understandable, let’s look at it from the perspective of someone with 20 years of experience in IT management.

"How do you get promoted? You show your superiors that you're capable of being more responsible and ready for more."

Congratulations are in order as you’ve been doing well in your leadership position for about three years now, as you mentioned. So why should you change or improve? Promotion is a massive reason why improvement is vital. How do you get promoted? You show your superiors that you’re capable of being more responsible and ready for more. What comes with promotion? Higher position and of course a higher salary! My assumption is you’re not working only 40 hours. I would guess you’re doing about 50 or 60 hours a week. Experienced leaders don’t switch their brains off at 1700! You take your thoughts with you. This is usually not the case in non-leadership positions. The more responsibility you have, the more you put into it. However, if you improve yourself and become better at your job, the less time you will need to put into it. My recommendation for the best way to get promoted: try to get unemployed! Trying to get unemployed means setting up your organization in a way that they completely exist without you. The result? You will find yourself getting promoted time after time as you can deliver things that your boss and your colleagues’ thought were not possible. This will not happen if you don’t have the right skills, capabilities, or mindset.

We read everywhere that children in school today will be having jobs in 20 years that we have not even heard of! Things are changing at a rate that nobody, 50 years ago, or even 20 years could have predicted.
