Enhancing Your Role
When most people begin to think about career planning, the tendency is to focus on promotion and advancement. While moving up is certainly one career option, it is not the only one. You may, in fact, be able to meet your career objectives by enriching your current role.
This may include: making your job more challenging and stimulating by increasing your involvement in additional areas; delegating tasks in others; changing how you perform your job; participating in a task force or committee; taking on a new assignment.
