Are you stuck in a career rut? Are your former peers progressing ahead of you? Are you doing all the hard work but getting none of the rewards? Are you wondering what everyone else seems to know that you don't?
Asking for a promotion ranks high on the list of life's most anxiety-inducing activities. Putting yourself out there to higher-ups can be intimidating, and competition can be fierce, especially in the current economic climate. And, of course, what if they say no?
But it's also one of the most important things you can do for your career. If you want to move forward in your company or field, promotions are part of the game and they won't just be handed to you - you have to work - and ask - for them. Ready to take that next step? Penguin Experts Series: Get Promoted will give you everything you need to know before the big conversation.

It intervenes with profoundly compassionate imagination, and genius, where neither governments nor private philanthropy have prevailed. Each paragraph, each page, brim over with visionary scope and micro-textured examples of exactly what Sir Ronald has been so brilliantly engineering, and the many sectors in which the " Impact Revolution" is so well instantiated and advancing. Written with great lucidity and persuasive power, Impact is the most genuinely hopeful and important work I've read in this arena in decades.
