>If you want to get promoted, just start acting like someone at the next level up.
This is the most ridiculous thing companies make u do
I start acting and working like a CEO will I become one ?
One of the first things I try to impress upon new managers is that their job is not about telling people what to do, rather their job is about getting the most done with the people they have on the most important parts of the problem. They have to take the whole set of possible things that could be worked on, and figure out the important ones to invest in. Sometimes the importance comes from being or staying competitive, sometimes the importance comes from keeping things alive long enough to get to the next milestone.
