What are some of the ways of becoming a manager, according to this article?

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is correct. The article suggests that it is common "for management positions to be given to friends and relatives of the boss". "Being related" to a boss or a senior manager usually means being the son, daughter, nephew (etc) of them.
This is correct. The article suggests that one can become a manager by "demonstrating good leadership skills", this means showing a capacity to be a good leader, or at being "in charge". Managers are people who are "in charge". "Leadership" is the ability to lead and direct people.
This is incorrect. To tell someone that you "lack (ambition)" is to say that you don't have any ambition. This is not a good thing to say if you want a promotion.
This is incorrect. The article does not mention asking for a specific wage (or salary) that could result in promotion to a management position.
