How executives make promotion decisions. How they think and what they look for helps you know what to do and what to ask for. I wrote about it in detail on Substack (+ the article is free) #CapCut #careertok #careeradvice #promotions #careers

I asked six executives how they made promotion decisions on their team. There are three things that the people they promote do differently than anyone else. The first thing is that they build trust across function so they're not just someone who's well-known within their team. They build their relationships outside of their teams or their departments. The second thing is that they're already operating at the next level before the title. Some of you may love this, some of you may hate this, but it's true. In most cases, leaders aren't placing bets on your potential. They want for you to prove that you can operate at the next level before they promote you there. And then the last thing is something that I personally wish I knew earlier in my career. They chase glamour work, not grunt work. They chase the high visibility projects. They chase the projects that have an impact on the company, either on their operations or their bottom line. Those are the three things I wrote about this in detail. On my My sub stack, it's called reframe and the link is in my bio.
