But if you want to raise the bar really high (and be more sure that the person will perform well at the next level too), you may want to put him/her for a few months ahead of promotion in the new role. I've seen already many "acting" managers, before they were "real" managers. Sure, it will be difficult to explain to people first time "But you promoted Jim right away! Why do I have to prove??", but once you set the culture, you might save yourself some headaches. Thanks for visiting! Hi Mike,

However, I promote someone once they have already proven they are able to do most of what that new position entails. I've experienced the same in my own promotions. Do what that position requires and promotion is a sure thing if you ask me. .-= Mike King´s last blog ..<a href="http://learnthis.ca/2009/12/giving-all-you-have/" rel="nofollow">Giving ALL you have…</a> =-.
