Back to EpisodesWhy Your Boss Can't Promote You (Even If They Want To)
Description
Your boss loving your work is not enough to get you promoted. Not at the senior level.
Most of us believe that if we impress our manager and make ourselves indispensable, the promotion will follow. But once you're being considered for director, VP, and beyond, your boss is rarely the only person deciding. Promotions at that level are made by committee. And if the leaders in that room don't know you, your boss is fighting an uphill battle on your behalf. Ready to get in the room? Get VP-ready in my free masterclass: morewomenpromoted.com/masterclass
