The Promotion Dilemma: Q&A with Marty & Em

Episode #128 // In this episode, Em & I discuss a few brilliant listener questions relating to promotions.

The first question is from Anne, who asks about breaking through the middle management ranks to get to more senior levels when you think you’re overdue for a promotion, but your bosses don’t see your potential the same way you do.

The second question is from John, who asks about some of the ways you can prepare the future leaders whom you’re intending to promote from within the organisation.

These questions are faced by virtually every leader at some point during their careers, so there are some great tips in here for everyone!

A word of warning, this episode is VERY detailed, so you may need to listen to it a few times with a pen and paper on hand!

Your boss wants more with less. Your team wants less, full stop. You're stuck in the middle.
