There are two kinds of criteria you must know about when you go for promotion: the formal and the informal.
The formal criteria are your organization’s obvious requirements to rise to the next level. Such as producing commercial results or experience leading successful teams. So, you’ll be competing with many people who will qualify for the formal criteria.
