Next, steal a management handbook from your HR department. Use that document to memorize the buzzwords and key phrases that are native to your company. Spend a lot of time with this.
Next, look up the history of your company. Find out who what its founding concepts were and who the sacred cows are. Memorize as much of this history as you possibly can.
During the interview, construct all of your responses from one of those three activities. If you have what it takes to be a good manager then that is all you will need to get promoted.

I can honestly say that this recommendation is the biggest load of BS I've ever heard.
What this person is recommending is a flash show, if you have no substance behind your beliefs and concepts you will surely fail.
Do something that will develop the management skills needed to manage. If you get a position and have nothing of substance to give to the company not only will you lose the position you want so badly but you might also lose what you currently have.
