Develop a plan for getting there. Take responsibility for your own future. Build a network of contacts. A network of associates both inside and outside your organization is an invaluable asset when charting your career and making career moves. Volunteer for positions with more responsibility.
Managers love employees who are willing to step up to the plate and take more responsibility.
As you seek responsibility and authority, you'll get it. Seek new opportunities and challenges. The worst punishment at work is to be bored with what you do. Constantly seek out new opportunities and challenges as you complete old ones. A life without goals is a life without direction.
