If you want to get extraordinary results you can't just follow a methodology or another person or team. YOU need to put all your passion and energy to work and prepare the path yourself. In order to do that you have to be passionate about what you do. Are you passionate about your work? I mean do you really care about the things you work on, on a daily basis? Do you get up in the morning and see the day as a chance to knock down some problems to get closer to your (/your teams) goals? You should be full of energy and excited because of another chance to meet new people, situations and to make a lasting and positive impact. If you don't have that energy and focus it will be a challenge to excel. I say that because there will be many obstacles along the way and without a real passion chances are high that you give up somewhere along the way.
It is obviously still possible to do good work and to even get promoted but it might not be enough to feel truly satisfied with your work. You spend at least 8 hours at work and most likely more so we talk about at least 1/3 of your life. Take care of it and stop doing "business as usual", do something extraordinary.
