You are the Executive !
Sometimes folks say you are what you eat ? I have never considered that I look or act like a plate of pasta so never quite got that one.
However how you regard yourself in a corporate sense can influence the way you act. What I mean by that is ,if you think like a junior member, you will act like one because you believe that is your position. It may well be inititally but to move up you have to think on a different level.
Similarly if you only ever do what is required of you in a certain role that's great, you're doing what you've been asked so you'll likely get more of the same at the same level. Therefore what you should be doing is looking at how your work conbtributes to what goes on at the upper levels and make a point of understanding it.
If you understand your contribution to the wider piece you will learn how to influence it. As you gain that understanding you then move into that next activity layer,as a personal development task, then you start doing it. At the same time it's important to create awareness of you doing it.
You get the attention and recognition you are at that upper level and you then stamp your brand on those wider aspects, your personal stock rises and you go from being a reliable player to a critical player.
This is when you make your play for personal reward. Drive hard.don't wait to be invited to the upper tables, take your seat along and firmly position it.
