Kultureller Hintergrund
In Polish business culture, 'zrobić krok do przodu' is often used in annual reviews to show that an employee is ready for more responsibility. The phrase is a staple of 'corporate speak' globally, but in Poland, it's also used very sincerely in personal development circles. News headlines frequently use 'milowy krok' (milestone step) to describe scientific discoveries or political changes. Younger generations might use it ironically when they do something very basic, like finally doing the laundry.
