Tip #1 - Meet People and Make Friends
At least one a week, get out of your cubicle and walk the office. Meet the people who work next to you; and endear them to you. When you're up for a promotion, it can never hurt to have too many friends.
Tip #2 - Expand Your Understanding of the Business
When it comes to getting a promotion, being good at your job isn't enough. In fact, it's just one prerequisite. In addition to being good at your job, you will also have to gain a much stronger understanding of the business you work in, so you can make broader, bigger picture suggestions.
Tip #3 - See Opportunities—Not Challenges
Many people see challenges and freeze with fear. The successful don't see challenges, but instead look for opportunities. Be like the successful and look for opportunities.
Tip #4 - Don't Pass the Buck
Passing the buck is what you do if you don't want responsibility. If you want to be successful and to get promoted, don't pass the buck. Take any responsibility that comes your way; and ask for more.
Tip #5 - Don't Be Afraid to Stand-Up for Yourself
When it comes to contradicting your boss or a co-worker, you might decide that it is not a good idea to stand up for yourself, but instead to back-down. However, if you have good reason to believe you are right, you should stick up for yourself as long as it is reasonable and respectful. Ultimately, your co-workers and boss will respect you more for it.
