Hard work and go always beyond what is being asked from you. Simple as that
Education and soft skills
Ability to communicate well across multiple business lines, recognizing opportunities and was at the right place in life to be able to move across the country for the right opportunity. I also moved laterally/title demotion (pay increase) early on in my career to get into the right areas that had better paths to leadership.
Soft skills are more than 50% of it. Not just how you communicate but also the way you dress, you schmooze, manage both up and down, deescalate conflict, lead by example… having high EQ is key although I have seen my share of sick bosses with zero EQ.
