If your goal is to climb up the ladder to the next level, you must put a strategy in place. One strategy may be to make a lateral move to advance your career. Take time to determine the knowledge and experience you need to get to the next level. This is where a lateral move makes sense. A lateral move can give you the experience you need to qualify for your desired position. Here are ways a lateral move can advance your career.
- Gives you the opportunity to develop the skills you need to advance.
- Allows you to learn other functions of the organization.
- Allows you to build more relationships and grow your network.
Making the right lateral move will make you more valuable to your organization. When you get to your desired position you will have the confidence and knowledge to help your organization to overcome their challenges and move them in the right direction.
More companies are encouraging lateral moves as an employee development opportunity rather then viewing it as a bad move. As long as your lateral move will take you one step closer to your career goals, then go for it!
