Ep #120: How Being ‘Irreplaceable’ is Sabotaging Your Career

The fact that you’re irreplaceable in your role is ruining your chances of getting promoted. Look at it this way: When you are irreplaceable, it’s easier for your organization to hire someone NEW to fill the role you want than it is to promote you and find a replacement (or, let’s be real, three replacements) to take over the work you are doing right now. So what do you do instead? You start grooming your successor starting now AND you communicate this to the executive team so they know you have a plan. In this episode of Maximize Your Carer with Stacy Mayer, I’ll show you how to do both.
