Shift Lead Tips (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by GlamrockLemon
Any tips to higher my chances of being promoted? My manager knows of my interest in becoming a shift. I would really love to have a more important role at my store! What are little or big things I can do to take initiative and lead others.

Something my shifts pointed out to me was that I was essentially doing the job before I got the job, if that makes sense. Helping to answer questions when you can, finding things to do when the shift doesn't overtly tell you to do them, things like that. It was me stepping up and taking that initiative hat made my shifts suggest to my manager that I replace a leaving shift, and that's how I got the job. It also made it easier on me and my baristas, they already saw me as someone they could go to for help / questions

i like this! BUT!!! one thing to note. just a warning from my experience
if you want a promotion, it is *always* good to step up, show that initiative, go the extra mile, be helpful, and show that you can do things without a shift telling you! if you *want* to and the shift agrees, i think asking to run the floor once or twice is good too.
However, you have to establish boundaries. if it starts getting into that territory where you feel like you’re doing the shift’s job, like nobody else is helping you, like you’re doing all the work and you’re not getting paid for it? that’s when you have to reel it back in a bit. go the extra mile for what you want, but don’t do the job without the title and compensation.

Become a barista trainer. Show that you know how to manage and foster an individual's growth. Also ask your manager for honest feedback on what would get you ready for a promotion. Become involved with window times and providing encouragement when you hit your numbers for half hours.
