# '''Express a desire to move into a | # '''Express a desire to move into a leadership role'''. The rank of Lt. Commander is one of the most senior aboard a ship, and those in that rank are expected to increase their level of participation to a new standard; leading teams, mentoring other simmers and so forth. If you don’t wish to move into command, this will probably be your final rank within the fleet where you will likely be a part of your ship's vital support staff. For those interested in an eventual command position, the rank of Lieutenant Commander can be preparation time for a staff/command role. Definitely e-mail your Captain directly and talk to him or her about moving into a command role, and ask what, specifically, will help you move in that direction. | ||
# '''Pro-actively seek to facilitate the ship’s plot.''' Lieutenants seeking promotion can no longer rely on others to move the plot of the ship in specific directions. You should be studying carefully the sims of higher-ranked individuals, and seeking to emulate their best practices when it comes to the general plot arc, and specific plot twists. | # '''Pro-actively seek to facilitate the ship’s plot.'''

# '''Facilitate one or more OOC activities of the ship''' (ship forum, ship website, ship wiki, etc.). While before, you were probably just helping out every now-and-again with ship OOC activities, it’s time for you to actually take on the responsibility of ensuring that one of these activities gets done. Again, talk to your CO or FO about what ship OOC functions need leadership. It might mean, for example, creating a character profile on the wiki for new members, and showing them how to access it, or one of many other helpful tasks. | # '''Facilitate one or more OOC activities of the ship''' (ship forum, ship website, ship wiki, etc.).

* '''Review the Leadership Roster''': the [[Leadership Roster]] is a list of all the roles, in our community, where someone has a responsibility of some type. Each Team, Guild, and Duty Post needs a facilitator, and this list will show you what positions are open or filled. You don’t need to take a leadership role at this point, if you don’t want, but this list is a great way to see what OOC activities you want to help out with. If you have a particular interest in one activity, it’s important that you get involved now, so that after your next promotion, if a position is open, you can move into that position. | * '''Review the Leadership Roster''': the [[Leadership Roster]] is a list of all the roles, in our community, where someone has a responsibility of some type.
