Why Personal Mastery is important to get promoted?

It is about getting better...

I recently congratulated a former staff who was recently appointed as Dean of a University System in our province.  I asked him about his secret in his promotion.

He said that the current Dean pissed off the President of the University because of his bad work habits.  The new Dean said that he was never absent nor late in his about 5 years tenure as a professor in the University.  He came early and went home late (taking experience first) he never complained, took in a lot of assignments, and worked beyond office hours, and even on weekends and holidays, just as I had trained them while under my wings.

It was all about getting better.

At the end of the day, it was about attitude and personal mastery.
