Self-promotion is a delicate balance when vying for a job or promotion, as it's important to come across as both competent and likable. Wharton professor Maurice Schweitzer suggests using "dual promotion" by following self-promotion with a promotion of someone else. This approach not only makes you seem more agreeable but also more competent. Schweitzer's research shows that including a compliment of someone else's work alongside your brag increases how likable and competent you are viewed, improving your chances of getting hired or promoted. Despite its success, the majority of job candidates still engage only in self-promotion during interviews.

Transparency and honesty are not the norm on LinkedIn, as it is primarily a space for self-promotion and selling products and services.
"Loud laborers," employees who prioritize self-promotion and visibility over actual work, can negatively impact workplace morale and team dynamics. These individuals may talk excessively about their work and achievements, often seeking external validation and recognition.

To address this issue, leaders should recognize and reward actual performance rather than showmanship, value different work styles, and provide constructive feedback to encourage a balance between self-promotion and productive work.
