To get promoted get to know what you will be doing
Apart from working on part 1, part 2 and part 3, one has to get ready to be promoted to the next level. So the final part in this series is:
Get to know what the next level demands
If the organization has a written job description of what the next level entails, can you demonstrate that level of performance in your current role?
You can also volunteer to do your leader's relatively simpler operational tasks that will help you in
learning what the role is
- free up his/her time to concentrate on doing more productive things

Gautam, this is a great series of posts. There is an interesting angle to promotions and tasks performed: i) promote me and pay me accordingly and I'll perform the corresponding tasks or ii) I'll perform above my grade and show that I am ready for promotion while I am still at a lower grade.
The latter approach seems the most logical and straight forward but from an employeee's stand point is also the riskiest: the employee would be performing more expensive tasks at a lower salary with no certainty of being promoted.
I've always been a great backer of transparencey, what I call the "candy bar machine approach": let employees know exactly what buttons they have to push to get the candy bar.
