This is a very good question.
The idea is to make your professional profile a brand of excellence.
There's no point in trying to please everyone, it's actually counterproductive.
They'll hate you and will stab you in the back at the first opportunity
You need to be tactful 🔽
Instead, it's better to have a more strategic approach depending on the nature of your job:
Not every job has the same visibility, nor the same importance.
In a sales team, the individual results are very visible and the function is of crucial importance for the company (no money, no business); the output speaks for itself.
In this case, there is no need to oversell yourself.
You need to make yourself known for the right reasons to the right people.
The ideal position to make a maximum of noise is in the case where you are in a position where your work is important but lacks visibility (Database management, software management...etc)
In this case, unless you make the importance of what you do known, nobody will ever be aware of it and you will remain stuck in the technical levels.
To evolve, you MUST communicate.
If you are in a position of low importance but high visibility.
Use this as leverage to network outside the company, if you do it right there is a good chance that you will be in a better position elsewhere
If you are in a position where you have no visibility or importance, change your job.
In concrete terms, this means that you are in a minimum paying wage.
You have no career and you should reconsider what you are doing.
I mentioned above that it is important to know who to network with.
What I mean by that is that you need to focus your efforts on the people who have power over your future.
The people who are critical to your rise.
The people who hire and fire.
Conduct your charm on those.
