Great video! I'm 73 and retired, but I love learning. You should never stop learning. One of my goals after retiring was to learn a new language. It's coming along. I'm not fluent, but I'm improving every week. My dad is still alive at 102 and, though he can't do as much physically, he still stays sharp by reading and learning new things.
Leila how can one be versatile …more than this video , I like your acting , you are an awesome actor 😂😂😂😂…wonderful.. very soon we are going to see you in some Hollywood movies also… honestly running short of words to praise you 😂😂
At my company when you follow the steps to not get promoted you will eventually become the CEO. So I guess your guide depend on the moral and inner workings of the company too.
The right steps for a healthy economy and a healthy business. Here (in Croatia), these "nottogetpromoted" steps are exactly the right ones for progress - the only thing missing is one more - you always have to say "yes, boss!"
Can't agree more! I am now serving a well known global giant company, the people sitting in management fit exactly like these steps. However, people doing the opposite stay in the bottom forever (can't assume it's a practice across all countries, at least in Australia)
A tip that was omitted (and this is VERY important) - Make certain that senior members of management see your solutions before anyone else can learn of the accomplishment and write it up in their monthly report to take credit for it. People of great ambition but who refuse to put forth the effort and who also suffer from a lack of morals are all too willing to take credit for your achievements.
I disagree. It depends on company culture. I have never seen this kind of behavior but quite the opposite: if you have an idea/solution then it is yours to present and to get the fruit. Your statement is the fine combination of the _be invisible_ and _blame others_ points from the video: _I haven't got a promotion because my idea was not seen (invisible) but stolen (by others)_
If you're in a job that has people like that, you'll probably want to move on to the next role or company.. My company constantly encourages everyone to recognize others, especially their own staff, and i work for a big company (in Canada).
@@skypechess I've seen this behavior often with people of Middle Eastern backgrounds. For example, a professor from a top 25 university was brought in as a consultant. He had nothing to offer toward a solution but he was more than ready to steal my process for milling polyurethane and to file a patent on it. If you have great ideas, then make certain that senior members of management are made aware of who designed the solution before an unscrupulous team member of no real talent takes credit for it. It's nice to be a team player but it is far better for your own career to be recognized for your achievements. The alternative is to be walked on by men of lesser abilities.
@@HedelTorres I've been gone from that company for decades. However, I've seen the same type of behavior at countless companies where I've worked as a consultant. The employees who produce the value for the team are rarely the ones who get the credit. The good news is that consultants not only get credit for their accomplishments (even though it doesn't matter) but also get paid far more than even the highest paid employees.
Leila, that was so creative. I especially loved how the beginning negative portion of the video was in black and white and the positive portion was in color. As for me, I am almost 68 and will be finishing up my current career soon, but I am going back to college to start a new career as a Data Scientist. As long as you are alive, there will always be opportunities to grow and do new things. I don't plan to ever retire...at least not while I am still mentally capable.
I used your channel to sharpen my Excel chops and found ways to make everyone's lives easier. Turned it into the biggest raise and promotion of my life at almost 40. 🤜🤛
I learn 30 minutes à day on average on your tutorials and some other channels, and I have made a big difference at work, and now I do what I like doing and I always improve my work!
I got way too complacent, and years went by. Thankfully, I've learned my lesson & now I take trainings through my job, and I learn from other workers as well. I also take trainings outside of work to upgrade my skills. There's always something to learn.
Refusing to train a backup is a suicidal strategy. I was seriously ill in the late 2000s. If I had not trained my accountant, business as usual would not have been possible. That's why I specified to the recruiters then, to hire one with the same level of skills and enough experience. The management were not fully convinced of this requirement - possibly due to budget policies? But, when that lady stood in for me, they were relieved that at least there was someone who could hold the fort for the interim. At another MNC, HQ had to draw on finance managers from other Asia-pac countries to serve as interim managers, because of staff turnover issues while permanent candidates were being interviewed. A proper succession plan has to be in place for any group of companies to function effectively.
Leila, To level up the message conveyed in this video that you have created (thank you, btw), you could also add a secondary title “Office Red Flags that a Co-Worker Potentially has a Narcissistic Personality Style”. Speaking as a survivor of Narcissistic Abuse, every single one of those 5 steps are characteristics and behaviors someone with this personality style would do or posses in the real world. All 5 are actually very spot on!
Interesting but let’s not forget that is totally fine not wanting to be promoted I, for example, am very happy with my current line of work and looking forward to retirement I don’t want to be promoted and really dislike people who frown upon my attitude
I encountered resentment in similar circumstances. Quality not quantity. The work environment is so toxic these days but is it more effective. I doubt it.
Leila, tomorrow I'll present this video to my work partners as part of a new system I developed in Excel and Microsoft 365. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JUST OUTSTANDING!
Hi Leila, great production, I like your examples of what to complain about (toilet paper and coffee selections 😂). The alternative lesson I am taking away from this is: if you can't be something that inspires or motivates others, be an example of what not to do. Keep making the world a better and more productive place! Be well!
Great tips! ..For an ethical environment. These exact things work great for crummy colleagues. If you’re not on the in crowd your best bet is to quiet-quit while you create alternatives and opportunities for yourself.
Hi Leila, a Different video from you usual. To put my cards on the table, i watch one or more of your videos nearly everyday. I'm 65 now and will retire from paid work in a months time. But I'm not retiring from life. All through my working life i Have worked to two basic principles', Try and encourage everyone around you to do the best job possible, and to be positive. I think that is what this video is about.
#1 learning - if you only learn what the company tell you to learn (or offers to pay for), ie the minimum to do your current job, then you'll be stuck in the same job forever. In over 20 years, I have never been offered by any employers to do courses to help me advance my career, it's always just manadatoary basic training to do the role. Many companies talk the talk about providing training, but puts every possible obstacle in the way when employees ask to go on those training, such as it's not relevant to your current role, or it's not the skill is not used by the company, or it's too expensive, or you don't qualify for that course, or over qualified for that course. If I didn't pay for my own training and doing them in my own time, I would not have learned anything new in 20+ years.
Hi Leila, it seems that you've spent a time here in germany! I've met quite a few people and made experiences as shown in your video. I wonder why most of the people refuse to take advice that life is a continous learning journey and waste their precious time instead of making new experiences and grow. I thank you very much indeed for your great work. Keep on doing what you're doing. Cheers and greetings from Berlin
Thank you so much for this video, Leila. I will make sure to share this with my team, and wider network. Unfortunately I have known far too many people as described in the video. Your content is always appreciated, thank you and your team for all you do.
The reason why I got promoted was because I didn't step back when I had to face a huge challenge. I'm open to get "bad" feedback because if there's nothing to fix how am I suppose to grow? And I never have felt like me going up requires others going down.
“What’s up with the fruit basket everyday?!” :-) Great way to make your points. While most of these “recommendations” sound obviously bad once you phrase them negatively, too many people still believe making themselves “irreplaceable” is a good idea. Not only is it a career-progression killer, it’s almost never true!
Indeed, this video confirmed my suspicions that the fruit basket is there to keep employees healthy, to keep us from using our paid sick days, and to work longer. 😉
Update -- Over the years, I have hired over 200 people. Leila's statements are true. It is shocking of how most people refuses to Learn simple things. .
This one stung a bit. I got passed over for promotion in this cycle at my company. That's not what made this video sting. It's that people already at the level I was hoping to get to are guilty of most of those activities. They wear ignorance like it is some sort of badge of honor. One has been saying to me, for over a year, "I don't know Excel" (a foundational tool at my company). Another interrupted me while on a call one day to ask "How do I resize a column in Excel?" This is while working for a company that provides access to Degreed, LinkedIn Learning, O'Reilly Learning and Cornerstone on Demand. There is an abundance of opportunity to learn. Now if you'll excuse me, I should probably lay down. I think I facepalmed myself so much that I have caused a concussion. 🤣🤣
Thank you, thank you, and thank you. I like for individuals to know as much as I do so they can make decisions and move forward with confidence. Team work makes the dream work. Thanks again for this timely reminder.
pretty good summary of how to land high on the layoff rating list for sure... been through it and the discussions/decisions of who provided the best net value to retain.
Lol! I am and older worker with a younger supervisor and I know how tough it is for them to gain leadership. I don't always agree but I never say no to anything they need of me. It their turn to run this Country or any country and they need the help. I did my best during my run and now I will be relaxing once my time comes. I am not close to being financially secure but had a job for the better part of my life and it gives you a sense of being important.
This works in a healthy work environment, in my previous job lot of incompetent people were promoted because they would not endanger higher management. Smarter and more cooperative people had better chances when they left
Thank you Leila, great presentation, I'm passing to all my colleagues, some will appreciate it, others.......? Self Learning is one of the KPIs for a bonus in our company.
I was intrigued by the title and really liked the video for it's straight take on what prevents one from progressing and promotion. Thank you Leila for the insights. You have touched a vital subject that should help many to overcome these problems. It was nice to see a change in routine videos, maybe you can create more on professional tips along side technical ones...
I am a Team Lead that have been dealing with one of my team members that does this exact thing. Yet said person whines about not getting the promotion after two years.
Nice. I do want to point out though that coming up with solutions and complaining go hand in hand, and there's a balance there. If you never complain at all you simply miss opportunities to learn, to not be invisible etc. A good, well constructed complaint helps everyone and demands respect, even with those who didn't immediately appreciate it (or maybe especially with them).
Unfortunately doing most of these things will actually help you in Ireland as many bosses are moral cowards! Might be different with US companies?? I was told by a recruitment expert that I would not get the overseas-based job because (1) I was older than the local manager, (2) I spoke the language (he didn't, apparently), and (3) I had an MBA and the manager didn't. Far better strategy is to play golf!
watched this in between Power BI videos :) less technical than the excel and power bi videos :D but definitely a boost, wake-up call or both - sometimes when things go south it's easier to get into this self destructive mood / spiral but indeed we need to realize we are the ones losing the most with that approach. whether looking for a promotion, or simply continuous self improvement, the best way for you to be in front line for good things in life is to have positive attitude remaining curious and hungry :)
Hey, what a great video. Not at all your usual content but very important information presented in a thoroughly entertaining way. Mostly I'm the opposite of what you presented but I did realise one important thing that I'm not doing. Actively seeking feedback. I'll start that next week.
Step 5 : blame others - this is really what lets me know what type of person im dealing with. When a coworker refuses to own up to their mistakes - i just make a mental note that im dealing with a child. Im genuinely shocked at the number of ppl who get to high level positions that suffer from this flaw.
I feel like what most companies do is hire people they think are ideal but don’t have the standard skills… then it becomes a you problem to train that person and if they do something wrong then it becomes like a major huge drama if you correct it. I told a new technician to go ahead and report me to a PM, after asking slowly if I should check for a type of ticket for a different computer the customer needed. Huge blow up after the customer left the office. I just listened to the angry venting and said. Ok. If that’s what your going to do. And carried on.. no shit given.
This may be true for us little people. But at the the managerial or executive level all those traits will absolutely guarantee you a promotion/fat bonus package.
Great video! I'm 73 and retired, but I love learning. You should never stop learning. One of my goals after retiring was to learn a new language. It's coming along. I'm not fluent, but I'm improving every week. My dad is still alive at 102 and, though he can't do as much physically, he still stays sharp by reading and learning new things.
Very impressive. I'm honored to have such amazing people as yourself in my community.
I guess that's how you make it to a 102 😊
The amount of will power it would take for a super senior citizen to learn at that age just scares me.
I wish I grow up to have the same behaviour.
Leila how can one be versatile …more than this video , I like your acting , you are an awesome actor 😂😂😂😂…wonderful.. very soon we are going to see you in some Hollywood movies also… honestly running short of words to praise you 😂😂
I'm same age, with same appreciation for constant, constructive, stimulating desire to learn & study!
At my company when you follow the steps to not get promoted you will eventually become the CEO. So I guess your guide depend on the moral and inner workings of the company too.
The right steps for a healthy economy and a healthy business. Here (in Croatia), these "nottogetpromoted" steps are exactly the right ones for progress - the only thing missing is one more - you always have to say "yes, boss!"

Good point. Thanks for sharing!
LOL! I love this video, Leila! So true true true. Thanks for sharing.
Leila you are the best! keep going as always! love you
In between I start to take notes, forgetting that it was was a NOT type video, it seemed so convincing
Thank you, Leila for this video and those advices!
Loved the acting Leila! 😊
I like what Leila said at the end of the video "a half an hour a day can make a big difference in your career!" 👍
Invisibility in the work place is a superpower.
What a excellent talent. I will share this video.
Great video - I showed some of my colleagues that need to have an eye opener 🙂
Thanks for sharing!

Just... amazing again :D ! Awesome video ! Not to mention you look great in this video even tho the complaining :D !
It’s extremely easy to get promoted! There is one simple rule: eff up, move up.
1. Stop learning
2. Complain (a lot)
3. Make yourself irreplaceable (hoarding your knowledge)
4. Stay invisible (below the radar, continue doing bare minimum)
5. Blame others
Honestly, I have all these Qualities 😁,
1 - Do Mistakes & Put Blame on Others.
2 - Look busy doing Nothing.
3 - Start a project, destroy it, hand it over to a competitor before it fails, blame him for everything, repeat the cycle with another person 😁
