Employee Development

Develop a reputation of credibility. Do what you say you will do. Be where you say you will be. And finish what you say you will finish when you say you will finish it. Build a reputation as someone people can count on.
Handle change with grace. Businesses change on a daily even hourly basis, by proving you can keep pace with those changes management will see your leadership potential. When change is made do your best to be supportive in helping others learn or get used to the change. If something in particular shakes even you, ask your manager for a few minutes to discuss the changes, a better understanding may be all you need to get over the shock.
Be open to receiving and giving help. Even the highest person at your company doesn’t know everything, and neither do you. Be open to feedback that can make you more successful. And if a fellow team member comes to you for advice, take the 5 minutes to listen and help. People who are respected by their peers are natural choices for promotion.
Grow your knowledge. Like we said above it's impossible for one person to know everything, so be open to opportunities for growth. If those opportunities are not given to you by your superior look for ways to open opportunity for your self. Use half a vacation day to attend a seminar, then email your manager some things you learned when you get back. Or subscribe to blogs or article sites for free information, and then make it a habit to forward relevant information on to fellow co-workers or even your boss. These simple tasks show you go above and beyond to improve yourself and those around you.
