👜👑Promotion: Cocky vs Humble
Given 2 equally intelligent, qualified people who have the same impact / track record... and who have same number of cross functional and leadership advocates... vote for which type would get promoted in ***your company*** in comments, share which type YOU would promote personally if you were the Manager.

I like those humble, kind, not political coworkers! More money for rest of us when we fight to get promoted and more money.
That's why shitty companies stay shitty
We are talking about TC, money, more money as in why I go to work. Companies shitty or not as long as they pay I will keep showing.
Why is there such a disconnect between who WE would promote as managers vs those who ARE promoted by our Senior Leaders???
I think it is obvious. Consider those promoted are actually doing exactly what Seniors Leaders need and when versus those you would promote are perhaps busy doing things not of any significance to leadership.
Because your leaders don't care about you. 🤷♂️
The humble person may or may not get promoted. For sure the person who is more outgoing will be noticed and considered come promotion time
Aren’t you being a bit too biased?

I think confidence is necessary to get promoted at Apple. If you aren’t able to stand your ground when a VP disagrees with you in a meeting, that is considered a liability for your whole team. But confidence and arrogance are different. If people on other teams dislike working with you, it will sink your career growth like cement shoes.
I actually think that it is a big misconception that extroverts perform better as leaders. At least based on the book good to great, it was mainly humble introverts that created better companies. If I understood the book correctly. You dont want people that put themselves first and instead the ones that generally put company first in higher positions.
Is this The Tech Lead?
I think a lot of people voted Humble thinking which one would they promote.
