Do the job of the person above you so they're not working as hard! Similar as never say no but a bit more tactical imo

Take up activities / pieces that others are reluctant to pick up due to various reasons - tough client, less fancy content, bad travel, etc. Soon you will have creds not just for faster promotions, but also get more say in planning your staffing.
