Tangibles this guy seems to be communicating: - Bring in as much business as you can - Be memorable for your competence - Be easy to work with - Connect people within and outside the company (i.e. don’t just network; be a builder of networks) - Mentor winners (i.e. people who will also bring in business and are seen as competent) - Be good at managing up and building consensus around solutions (i.e. make your boss’ job easier to do, especially when you’re encountering bigger problems that require attention from people in charge)

Identifying “hidden opportunities to speak up, get invited to a meeting, build a relationship, ask a question” is decent advice with a lot of subtext itself. Ask yourself why it might be important to take advantage of the above… Because these are the building blocks to identifying problems, crafting proposals, assessing the status quo, generating solutions, and bringing in business (a.k.a. laying out next steps and offering to lead follow-up efforts)

I got more out of this comment that the actual video
Every single worthwhile job I ever landed was the result of having a positive connection with somebody already working at that company. Sometimes it was somebody I had never met, a friend of a co-worker, who had heard good things about my attitude and work ethic. Most often it was a former co-worker who now worked at the new company and put in a good word for me. I must emphasize this wasn’t “I want to do a favor for a friend.” This was “I want to work with somebody who is good at his job and is a good co-worker.” You never know who in your career will open a door for you in the future.

I was never able to get a job. The only friend's I ever wanted were women. I am more of a product and process guy. I had to build my own business. The companies that I tried to work now ask me all the time to come work for them as I do business to business work for them. I would rather be dead than work for someone else.
Excellent points raised. I'd like to add that are other complexities like: 1) Each work place is different and general rules would vary in intensity/importance so one needs to recognize and adapt; 2) Some environments can be very toxic, if you do not get accepted from start you'll never get anywhere. Recognizing when to leave is very important for success and even health reasons.

Just an extra tidbit and of course your mileage may vary. Job titles are meaningless. Your company may decide to give you a job title that doesn't match the norm for the position. They may make up a title that is so niche if you search for it you won't find anything similar. Depending on a title is pointless and I guarantee any future place you work isn't going to care. They are going to look at your actual tasks and qualifications. I've had interviewed tell me they had never heard of my job but all my skills fit what they needed. So don't put to much weight into what your title is.
@manoftomorrow5987
7 ай бұрын
Which I agree with. Change jobs and get that title and pay raise. A lot of managers do not reward their staff (I try my best to reward my staff for their hard work). I'm middle management and my direct report (senior executives) could raise my pay..but for my career to continue to grow I will have to leave the company to get to that next level (executive status).

In addition to being "heard" and "seen" you've got to be willing to take risks and the responsibilities that come along with that. Own a problem and drive a solution. But also be aware that not all problems are meaningful and worth solving, be careful not to fall into these traps because your time is precious.
Somehow the 6 mins are too long for the amount of information inthis video. Basically : understand the motivations for a task given to you and respond to these motivations rather than what's asked in the task. This will show you understand the company's objectives and know how to reach them.

As someone with bad social anxiety (to the point where its medicated) I long ago learned it would not matter how hard I worked or how good a job I did or even how much money I made the company, I would never advance because I can't make friends and socially interact effectively.

That's what some of these folks want. If you're on a spectrum, you're SOL.
Maybe at the highest, 1% levels, but for the rest of us, the only way to get "promoted" is to find a better paying company than where you are currently. You can work hard and play the corporate social game, but the best you'll get is more work and a "I don't know what we'd do without you." Let them figure that out after you're hired at a higher paying company.

Video is garbage, you sre right. The dude is telling something that means anything, thus says nothing. Unspoken rules are the next sales pitch myth like the hidden job market......something you can only target when you habe payed some phony dude too much money. Just because you or someone else got a job through some arbitrard connection does not mean such jobs are pooled somewhere for those few who can network their way into anyones circle of friends. Companies are often stages whereyoucan see the middle ages in action. Bosses try to get their favourite and loyal people a bonus. If you do not habe that boss youRe screwed.
Gorick got it right - Don't be useful, be impactful.
Happy to see that people dont take that massive BS seriously.
This is a Narcissist Manual. The 'unspoken rules' are just a fancy rebranding of the term, 'office politics'. The "insiders" are the Narcissists who do gatekeeping and set the toxic environment. You can easily follow these rules if you are already a Narcissist. In the end you would either become a Narcissist yourself or you would end up getting some kind of mental disorder (e.g., PTSD, cPTSD). Toxicity being taught on media, what a great time to be alive!

Where is the toxicity here ? I'm new in a senior position in the tech sector
Essentially to get ahead in a system compromised of humans, don't make the mistake of valuing technical skill over charisma. Other humans are responsible for your promotion so you must appeal to their needs, biases, and attention. Thats why whole marketing departments exist. If we only cared about the technical objective properties of products they would sell themselves. It's akin to how we can appreciate a musical piece that's very technical and complex but at the end of the day we give most our attention to songs with simple catchy melodies.
When I’ve gotten promotions, it’s been at times when I’ve flipped from doing my assigned tasks at an acceptable level to stepping back, looking at the situation, and then taking ownership of the business. That means I start doing my assigned work better and faster, with more care, and then I also find the unassigned areas that are lacking and take those on as well. If you can show that you can be a project manager by taking the initiative to do that planning while doing your regular work, your boss will notice. If you schedule meetings that matter and run them well, it will get noticed. If your data analysis goes beyond and actually presents itself, it will get noticed. It’s not complicated even if it is hard.
@MD-gk4uh

🤣 Come back down in mud where most of us work and see how easy is to do that. “Scheduling meetings” …da-fak?! You have to first get promoted to the position where you have the authority to schedule anything at all much less “meetings” 🤦 It’s like saying: living on the interest money from your investments is easy, you just take 10 million dollars and….. da-fak?! You are already in a position where you CAN advance from and a boss who is not gate keeping. When people complain about not being promoted it’s because they are NOT being rewarded for all the hard work they ARE ALREADY DOING you numb-nut.

Oho, a variation of 5W+H framework. For promotion the easiest way is built reputation/visibility/optics & think a way to unseat your supervisor (e.g. the person get a promotion and leaving empty position). For perspective in navigating career, book “The McKinsey Way” might shed a little light. Career Mentors & Career Sponsors part might be important.

The middle managers and even the execs I've worked with lacked adequate communication skills to communicate clearly and directly with the people working under them, and yet, the company continued to run and succeed because of the intelligent, hard-working people at the bottom of the totem pole who are treated like trash.

Is this supposed to be a good thing? It just sounds like the people who get promoted are just the social people who have like interests as the boss. It’s as if being the best at your job is a small factor in a promotion. I’m I wrong?
Yah unwritten rules. Back in the day we called it something else, brown nosing and backstabbing. Defect blame, take credit for others work, never pass up a chance to make a co-worker look bad, show off when the boss is around. There's basically two people on any given work sight those who get the job done and those who get promoted. I'm not naive enough to not see this as the facts of life, but I do find it especially galling to see a best seller promoting this behavior.

Having lived in 3 countries across 2 continents and raised to “work hard, be humble and don’t ask for reward” I watched people doing all of the above in more or less visible manner until one person did it in such an obvious way that I thought there is no way higher ups would stop laughing much less promote him. Well, let’s just say I remember the time exactly when all my upbringing lessons came crashing down like a cartoon character three feet of the ledge still trying to peddle his feet. Being the outsider to the country itself and everything in it much less work environment and not having anyone to mentor me at all, I felt defeated beyond beliefs. Till than I still believed in capitalism and American dream. It died that day I finally couldn’t lie to myself any longer. All I ever got for my good work that everyone praised me for was more work, often left behind by those who got promoted while doing half what I did.

"Nepotism (noun) The practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs." Right? This guy isn't wrong and is saying what has happened at every place I've worked, promotions go to friends of the managers. And that's why the people at the top of a lot of companies aren't team players (they throw their peers under a bus), they aren't skilled or talented, they just know how to be friends with the boss and the correct race, sexuality, religion, etc. for that boss. This why so many companies start out strong and then collapse as the very talented people who helped disrupt the market, revolutionized the product, and are great at their job but also happen to be shy, peer advocates, or just a little weird quit for never being recognized. Instead of teaching how nepotism works, I wish people would teach managers how to identify and keep talented diligent people to help build a better company.
What do you do if these days 90% of the management is morally and ethically compromised?
Don’t work for big companies, take your own path
This could have been a smaller video…

Education and the art of teaching isn't and shouldn't be straightforward, there are some subjects that seem simple and quick, but are easily forgotten for that very same reason. I agree and understand that what has been said in the video could have been said in a few less minutes, but those "extra" minutes are for ensuring, even if just a little, that what has been said stays for more people! At least that's my take on it.

Hidden expectations: There are rules in one’s work place your employer never spoken to you but expect from you. Learning what that may be can help you advance to a higher level at your job.
If you didn't gain any understanding from the video, you're not only an outsider, you're unaware that you are.
Corruption and plain abuse resulted from metal deficiencies like personality disorders is sky high in corporations. And unfortunately trying to justify the reasons of a mad organization is a full time job with no result. If it feels bad or wrong trust me it is.
Honestly i really wish i would have had this videos 8 months ago when i got laid off from my high profile job in entertainment. This is exactly the thing i was dealing with.

simply no. yep. Once again, nothing important offered here. Ass kissing and nepotism. You will NEVER get promoted if they don't like you or don't want you promoted. If they want you to be their slave you will NEVER get promoted. Keep moving on until someone appreciates what you bring to the table.
Btw follow 8 limbs of yoga ☺
Low content video imo :)
Wh questions, that's all? I don't think it's just that. You are supposed to understand the hidden rules without anyone explicitly telling you, within their agreeable time span. Understanding the bigger picture comes at a cost of having others involved in your enlightenment, doing trial and error that the company cannot afford, and dealing with blames and conflicts. Something should have been included in the video about this.
These are tangible tips base on a person having a fair playground and favouritism , halo effects, gender bias is at absolute minimum. Choose your team wisely, who you work with means a LOT ! On top of that , apply some rules of how you carry out the work.
Be that different worker your employer is really looking for by knowing the what when how and why. 🤔
This guy made a career out of re-describing "It's not what you know, it's who you know." What a joke.
In other words, become a likeable person and play ball 😂
I love my current job and responsibilities. If salary promotions comes great, but no change up or down to my current one. Should I worry? Am I an outlier?
Perhaps it is true that everyone could get ahead financially if corporations were not motivated to exploit their workers in order to get rich while ensuring that the workers can not gain any ground financially...
He looks like the lady from that one episode of extreme cheapskates
