So you’ve been hired into a new company. How do you now grow in this company? Don’t make these common mistakes:

• Assume that someone will ask you to grow
• Assume that someone will ask you to post for a new position
• Live up to the least common denominator (doing the bare minimum)
• Merely “meet expectations”

If you want to make a positive impact in your company, follow the suggestions in the graph I’ve provided. Don’t follow the crowd. Be a positive influencer. Take your career into your own hands and be determined to grow and progress.

As I have written about in my book, The Path to Promotion, you need to be the right person who is doing the right things at the right time.

Go, leader, grow!
