Welcome to Manager Tools. Today's cast, the Manager Tools Promotion Standard, 150%, part 2. Okay, so that won't make sense to me. So now how do we do it? How do we make sure that happens?

Yeah, that was longer than I wanted to spend on the standard, but it's a standard that'll last right I mean it's

one of those things that once we put the steak in the ground at 150 then then

we can put out bunches of other cast about here's how you get people promoted here

the things you need to do and we alluded to one of them that's going to be in the

future right is the idea that other people are going to be involved you better

be willing to lobby for your people to get promoted because if you want to become

an executive you got to get people because if you want to become an executive you got to get

people promoted if you're going to get you promoted you got to have other people on their side

how to get them on the side and part is showing what they've done at your level and

there's all kinds of connections it's like we're planning on doing this for the next 20 years.

Yeah, kind of, yeah, sort of.

So look, you're right, this is Manager Tools, so how we do it

is a big issue.

Look, it's easy if you've been developing yourself, right? It's easy to get

your directs promoted if you've been developing yourself. Just delegate to them, delegate

the right things, and coach them.

And if you find they can't handle everything,

it might be okay to assign some of their lesser

responsibilities to others in the team.

And boy, I bet there's some people go, what did you say?

I mean, yeah, oh, yeah, we did say it.
