A few basic things that will help you get promoted.

In terms of wanting to get promoted, one is you have to demonstrate excellence. And that is you just have to be very good at what you do. Two, and it sounds real basic, show up. And that is 10 minutes earlier than anybody else, leave 10 minutes later. Be seen and get a reputation as the person that speaks well, that talks well of people behind their back. Listen, try and really promote other people's interests. The key to being successful, I think, is to develop allies along the way. It's one thing to provide constructive feedback to people in a professional situation, but for the most part, you want to talk up your colleagues. You want to be there for them. And you finally want to act like an owner. And it's easy in a private setting or a private company to act like an owner. I can just tell when people are acting like shareholders. The reason why in a private company you give or I've given shares to everybody in the company is you want them thinking about what's best for the business 24 by 7, because it directly motivates them because they see their compensation and well-being and ability to take care of their family directly tied to the well-being of the company. They start acting like owners.
