Depends on the field, I guess. I think the difference in getting ahead is more often in pleasing your superiors than in being objectively the best person at a job.

Alternatively if you want to play risky, please the superiors of a department tangential to your own to try and get internally poached.

Technically I wasn't really trying, but it's how I made it off the IT hell desk.
