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. visit wwkamyabology.com for best

Lateral opportunities

You can move laterally in your

career.

Either you take an opportunity

within the company or in some

other company at the same level.

You will be able to explore new

opportunities with a new team &

boss.

Though you don’t reach a higher position, you still get to unravel the unexplored side & skills.

Take up the challenge

Ananth missed his promotion &

instead of cribbing over the loss he

moved on.

A few days later his boss declared

that there was a new project &

asked someone to take the lead.

Ananth jumped at the opportunity &

headed the project.

Looking at his leadership abilities his

boss was super impressed & a year

later Ananth had jumped two levels

Sarah applied for a half day. Her boss probed the reason.

She said, ‘I have joined a workshop to learn SAP.’ Her boss, Anil was impressed with her decision.

promotion.

move ahead. visit www.kamyabology.com for best management ppts

Start networking

organisation, you don’t interact with people from other

organisations.

But, connecting with people

from your industry & others, will

help you know about new skills

needed in the business world.

You will get some advise & be

aware of opportunities in other

companies & industries.

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

answers

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.

Reframe

Reframe you experience & look at

May be you’ve been complacent & now its time to focus.

Ask yourself, ‘Did you really need a promotion? What about the

money, respect, title, recognition,

etc.’

There may be other ways to get

these, without a promotion. visit www.kamyabology.com for best

Don’t

React or act right away. Let

the right perspective.

Badmouth the person who got

promoted & your boss.

Over react & turn this whole

situation into a grueling

experience. Infact, it is just a

disappointment, let it sink into you.
