Learn From Women Who Have Already Reached the Top

Each of the women interviewed has important tips to share. If your goal is to be promoted, one woman's advice is to prepare your department for your departure by training people to handle your current duties. If you're indispensible, you may stay stuck right where you are. Another tip is to always look two positions ahead of where you are now. Great advice.
