How to Be a Rising Star
- Look for the layers. The more hierarchical your company, the less welcome your incursions are apt to be.
- Identify established border crossings. Where do different levels of your company mix? The fitness center? Cafeteria? For drinks? Cross there first.
- Make your presence known with a comment, a question, a word of support. Never leave a room without people knowing you were there. If your company prefers that you keep silent, boundary violations are not likely welcome.
- Study the swirl. Pay attention to the people around those with real power (those who make the decisions and control the money). If the swirl is informal, rather than organized or appointed, you may find an opening.
- Ask your mentor, but not your colleague. Seek guidance regarding the company culture from a senior person. A colleague may be threatened by your ambition.
