Not bringing in work that other underperforming partners take credit for to save their jobs. Make sure you get the credit and that it is seen as your client/project, not some dolt who is missing goals.

Network. Get involved with an internal initiative and lead it.

Sponsorship by someone or group of people who have influence with and are respected by leadership. If leadership only knows you as a line on a report and you’re not likely going to make it. Meet the leaders and do thing that show up on their radar.
