After meeting… Have "Action" follow-up sheet available by end of day. This can show date of meeting, tasks, responsible party, deadline date and a follow-up date. Assign a meeting coordinator to follow-through with commitments made and noted on this "Action" sheet.

The objective is to gain a reputation for having fewer, more effective and efficient meetings. Attendees will welcome opportunity to share information and participate when they feel they have been heard and they know their time hasn't been wasted.

"But wait," you say, "my product is widgets. I supervise Widget Makers. I don't understand!"

Let me clarify. Your title is Supervisor of Widget Makers. Those widgets are your COMMODITIES. Under Business Development, your product is your JOB!

That means, you must document your job so someone else can take it over and succeed. You must document how-to-do-it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing." --W. Edwards Deming (1900 - 1993) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This will actually free' you from that job so you can move to another one. In other words, you turn your job into a turnkey SYSTEM for producing required results.

I call that documented, turnkey system an Operations Manual.

Once you do that, you can be promoted out of your current job! (Remember that you were thrilled when you first got your job. Your replacement will be thrilled to take your job so you can move on.)

You win: Your replacement wins. Your boss wins. What could be better? Plus, you'll be a hero for helping to develop and streamline business!

Here's why I call this process Ultimate Career Builder.

You can repeat this process a few times, training people as you go, as you move up ladder.

See my more detailed flowchart at: http://www.SeniorManagementServices.com/Images/7-steps-flowchart.gif

This way you become a business builder, set a positive example for others, and take charge of your own pro-motion. You show way. You become a leader. And you reap rewards with integrity.

============================================================ OK, let's review. ============================================================

We examined problems with being stuck in a job. We looked at WHY people get stuck in a job, and HOW to get unstuck, even promoted to a new job.

As I stated, Success is no Accident. You can create success on purpose starting with your job, whether you're at bottom, in middle, or on top of your organization! I showed a proven 7-step procedure.

You can take these ideas and run with them. Or you can get my complete details on how-to-do-it in my new book called, "7 Easy Steps to your Raise and Promotion in 30-60 Days! The book smart bosses want their employees to read."

Here's what executives are saying about this book: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I've coached executives and entrepreneurs for many years and this is first program I've ever seen that makes documenting a position or business easy. [...] I know many people who would ne'ver have been laid off if they'd had this program in place." -- Kathy Gillen, President GillenGroup Executive Coaching http://www.gillengroup.com

"The concept and approach to put it to work are simple, effective and easy to implement. If I were starting a business, I'd put this kind of system into effect from start, even before first employee showed up!" --Noel Rodrigue, Consultant

"This isn't just a book for your next raise; it is a book for building an entire career. It can put a person of average intelligence and skills on path to upper management in any company or institution... wish I had read this book 20 years ago. It would have changed my life." --Stew Walton, President, Sheaves, Inc. http://www.eSheaves.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
