How Not to Get Promoted: Fix the Self-Sabotaging Behaviors Holding You Back

Written by Emily Kumler

Narrated by Madison Lawrence

You work hard and turn in flawless reports, you stay late and kiss up to all the right people, and you still aren’t getting promoted. What gives? Well, you’re clearly screwing something up, and it’s time you find out what it is.

It’s frustrating. You’re the first one in and the last one out. You work hard but still must watch other coworkers get promoted into shiny new titles, while you’re stuck in the same position you’ve been in for the last five years. Chances are it’s not about what you’re doing right--it’s about what you’re doing wrong. 

How Not to Get Promoted?is filled with interviews and stories of people who were being held back by the things they didn’t realize were working against them. The workplace is a minefield filled with politics and unspoken rules. This book is here to teach you:

• How you’re screwing it up and what to do about it
• How other people screwed it up before figuring it out
• What you should stop doing immediately
• What you should be doing more of

Now, stop panicking and letting frustration hold you back. How Not to Get Promoted is the tool you need to get out of your career rut and make it to the next level!
