A boss also looks the past performance of the employee before considering the employee for the promotion. He checks the performance level of the employee during the period of time he is working in the organization. He looks whether the employee has performed his task sincerely or not in past or whether he is maintaining his performance level at par with the organization over a period of time.
If the past performance of the employee is not good and if he has given promotion, he might not perform his duties sincerely. Moreover giving a person promotion with bad performance record will demoralize the other employees of the organization. Hence it is very important for a boss to look into this point before giving an employee a promotion.

Hence, a boss always looks the attitude of the employee towards the organization before considering him for the promotion. The person who doesn’t have a positive attitude he will not only tell bad things about his subordinates or colleagues as well as for boss too. The person who doesn’t have a positive attitude can never boost positive spirit within the organization.
