Why are most senior leaders airborne and rarely promoted from within?

Everyone had already decided who could be the director, but suddenly a big boss parachuted in and became the director. This is a common occurrence in the workplace. The common situation of airborne troops is actually easy to understand. The bosses who parachuted in are usually the leaders of a future department of the company. Airborne here just to adapt to the company's operating mechanism, or practice.

If it is an individual enterprise or a small company, there will be no problem of airborne. It is usually the son who inherits his father's business. Only that kind of big company or a big company with branches overseas or abroad can airborne. For example, the directors of the sales department and the production department will put down the company's affairs sooner or later. If the company is not a joint-stock system, it may be that the directors of the sales department and the production department will not worry about the successor. However, if the company is a joint-stock system, the directors of the sales department and the production department will start looking for successors as early as three years after taking office.

These successors will be assigned various tasks, such as overseas business trips, field trips and investigation of the sales environment. After all, this is something that many newcomers in the company have to experience. When these successors have basically learned the diplomatic process, they need to understand the actual management of the company. So how to cultivate the company's actual management ability? The best way to train management ability is to bring a group of people in person.

These successors will be parachuted into various small departments of the company. Usually this kind of airborne person won't stay in this position for long. As long as they practice their skills well, their positions will soon be vacant because they have parachuted to a higher level. So, you don't have to worry about where you expect to be airborne. As long as you work harder, you will sit in that position one day.
