Availability bias It’s not a school exam. So performance alone isn’t enough. Most professionals assume that if you deliver great results, you will automatically move up. However, promotions also depend on how your contributions have been perceived. Understand the psychological principle of ‘availability bias’. Managers tend to promote those whose achievements are top of the mind. The best way to achieve this is to be co-located with your manager. Be sure to document your successes and share them strategically. For instance, send weekly or monthly updates to your manager, highlighting key outcomes. Communicate your achievements in the langauge that is aligned with your organisation’s current goals. Is the company focused on cost-saving? Talk about how your projects reduced expenses. Is growth a priority? Highlight revenue increase or new client acquisitions. Avoid arrogance. Frame your achievements as contributions to team success rather than personal victories to retain humility.

This initiative also seeks to address the challenges faced by teachers in Tier-3 cities, where salaries are often limited between Rs 15,000 and Rs 20,000. Studies such as the National Achievement Survey by the Ministry of Education, the Annual Status of Education Report, and CBSE’s Structured Assessment for Analysing Learning all point to a common conclusion: the root cause of unsatisfactory teaching in schools lies with the teachers themselves. These reports consistently highlight significant learning gaps, where board exam scores fail to reflect actual skills, and note an increasing dependence on external help like private tuition or coaching.
