5. Join a start-upIf your current organization doesn’t give you the chance to be bold or try new things, your best bet might be to join a start-up. This is an extreme case of risk-taking, because it could mean lower pay (if at all) and the chance of failure is large. But it’s a great way to learn a lot about running a business, managing people and several other things in a short period of time.Young companies are always short-staffed, so “you need to multi-task (and) you need to manage crisis on a daily basis,” says Mr. Parekh. “Two years working in a start-up could be equivalent to five years in a large organization,toms shoe store,” he adds.A less risky option would be to spend time with small businessmen, says Ms. Sharma, the consultant, because they understand everything from cash-flow management to marketing.6. Keep up with the worldTo reach the top, you need to know a lot about what’s happening in your industry, and even related industries.“Today, many of the functions have become knowledge-driven,” says Prof. Kalra of the International Management Institute. He notes that manufacturing today relies heavily on technology, which is changing fast. A manager who doesn’t keep up with this pace would have little chance of reaching the top spot.You also need to be clued in to what’s happening broadly in the world, ranging from the global economy to currency moves, particularly if your company has a foreign presence.7. NetworkingEverywhere in the world, networking is key to career success. This is especially true for high-profile jobs, which are often not advertised openly. If you know the right people, and enough of them, it will be easier for you to learn of vacancies when they come about.Share your tips for getting to the top in the Comments section.Write to Ms. Anand at shefali.anand@wsj,cheapest toms shoes.com, or follow her @twitter.com/shefalianand.
