The work of a leader is to make his carbon copies.

The work of the leader is to create his carbon copies. Rightly said in the context, as the easiest way to grow up the ladder is by making people working under you grow. Keep working upon teaching and mentoring people that they get prepared for the next position. As they are ready that means you are no more required there, so you can move up the ladder or take upon another assignments along with your present one. For this a leader had to set in example in such a fashion as to give way for others to follow. For that you have to be one whom people will love to follow or replicate. Once you have prepared your successor, you can move on to higher things in the corporate ladder. Keep looking for opportunities to teach the people working for you to do things better, become perfect in the present role and prepare for the next position. For this:

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

• Understand the roles for the position that you aspire to be


• Work towards them to and get the required exposure/training required to get there.


• Look for opportunities wherein you can prove that you are ready for the next position.


• Once you get an opportunity, ensure you do it better than anyone else(Something which cannot be done better)


• Keep doing it till you succeed.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO FOR OTHERS

• Mentor your team and teach them the ground rules well.


• Give them opportunities to prove their caliber on specific tasks which will lead them to higher place.


• Prepare them to be your successor, so that they are ready to be your successor if you take upon a higher role or take upon a additional responsibility/assignment in addition to the existing one.

SO BE A PHOTOCOPIER MACHINE, MAKE CARBON COPIES OF YOURS. AND GROW.
