Get your CAM as quickly as possible. The course teaches you to be a terrific manager as well as to start thinking like an owner. Next, make sure your property and team performance is always stellar. Then, train your replacement. Never be afraid to hire or train people to be as strong or stronger than you. They will push you up the ladder. Good luck!

Lots of great advice here...and I think, Rose, because you're even asking the question, you're on your way. What I would add is to make it known to you whomever will listen that you are interested in additional responsibility or a greater role. And, when an opportunity presents itself, e.g. an opening within the company, ask for it!

Self assess. What are you good at? What do you like? What do you want to do in five years? Then try and figure out what you need to learn to get to that five year goal, and find an interim job where you use the skills you at which you excel, but also exposes you to the things you need to learn

As a manager, looking to advance to a corporate level...first and foremost, your performance must be stellar as well as the rest of your team. The more others around you are moving up, the better that looks for you. Volunteer to help train others. Become the go to person for feedback, extra help, etc. Ask for special projects, like acquisitions. LOOK THE PART. People need to be able to visualize you as a corporate employee, RPM, Trainer, whatever. The old adage of "dress for the job you want" really is true. Hair, makeup and fit of clothes is so important. Let your supervisor know that you're interested in advancement. You want to be assertive and take the initiative to put yourself out there.

I agree, educate yourself. Show initative to take on more. I've given this book to several throughout my career. Make yourself the obvious choice for the opportunity you want and prepare those you hire to be ready to replace you :)
