The Importance of Having a Number 2

Are you feeling stagnant in your career? Are the "next level" opportunities looking more and more out of reach each day? Are you unsure what you can even do to position yourself for an opportunity if and when it arises? Here's a crash course in what's need to progress your career:
- Be sure to do your current job SUPER well and work to build your reputation as such.
- Train someone else on how to do your current job better than you.
- Learn the knowledge, skills and abilities to succeed at the next level. Maybe become someone else's number 2.
- Work to create a need for those knowledge, skills and abilities at the next level and fill the gap in the minds of leadership long before any "official posting/opening" goes out.
All four of these things need to happen to advance your career. Miss one, and you're hard pressed on moving on. Today, I’m focusing on the second one: the importance of having a number 2 and how NOT having a number 2 is detrimental to your career growth.
