Offer the best future

I’ve been thinking about what it would take for a remote employee to land a promotion in this new age of WFH. 

To help me get a few clues, I’ve been digging into Donald Asher’s book, “Who Gets Promoted, Who Doesn’t, and Why.”

In order for you to get promoted within your company, you have to offer the best future out of all the available candidates. And employers want proof that you can deliver a specific, clearly targeted future.

However, perception plays a huge role in your ability to be considered for a promotion. You won’t land the promotion if the perception of you isn’t aligned with where the company is heading.

So, what would it take for you, a remote employee who no longer has a physical presence in the office, to be perceived as the best choice? 

What are your thoughts on this topic?
