Missed it ‘Oh! Its unbelievable. I didn’t get promoted. It’s Suhas who

stole it from me, he just butters up to all the seniors. I despise this habit of his. Infact, I deserved to be promoted.’

Now, that is how Ankit had to react when he missed his promotion.

Each person is tempted to react this way, a bit out of disappointment & a bit out of helplessness.

Let us turn our attention to ‘What you can do when you miss a promotion?’

Don’t get irritable Just like Ankit, the first reaction is

to get irritable & petulant.

Yes, you can reveal your emotions & say, ‘I am terribly disappointed, I wonder what went wrong? Why did I miss the promotion?’

Holding on to your emotions & being unexpressive transpires into frustration.

Be yourself, you have all the right to, but, don’t indulge in mudslinging.

Speak up

Look inward, introspect; most people know why they didn’t get promoted.

No one will come out with the harsh truth, so you have to give them the permission to reveal the reasons.

Ask for what skills you need to sharpen & specific incidents when you failed in your responsibilities.

Ask your boss to subsidise a course to sharpen your skills. visit www.kamyabology.com for best management

Rahul walked up to his boss & said, ‘I wish to discuss about my promotion to know how I can improve.’

His boss was surprised that Rahul though looked disturbed, wanted to learn from his experience.

‘You need to focus more on team building, while you focused too much on targets.’

Rahul had never seen it from that perspective. When the conversation ended they both knew there existed a huge expectation mismatch.
