They probably promoted me to lead because I am a field grade military officer in my part time job. It certainly wasn’t because I was working hard. Nearly all my promotions in both the corporate world and military have been involuntary, now that I think about it.
Things that also helped:
* superior writing skills. It’s the ability to supply superior precision in the fewest number of words.
* getting shit done. It’s the ability to accomplish all the things assigned to you urgently and without error. My goal is to clear my plate of all currently assigned tasks so that I can space out.
* taking care of people and managing operations. There is a lot to this but I have more than 20 years experience in management from the military side so it’s just second nature for me now.
