Description
A promotion marks the end of years of hard work to persuade influential people in the organization that you're willing and able to move to the next level. But it also marks the beginning of a new journey in which you must figure out what it takes to excel in that new role, how to exceed the expectations of those who promoted you, and how to position yourself for still-greater things. This is the promotion challenge, and in this chapter, transition acceleration expert Michael Watkins helps you understand the core promotion challenges and the competency gaps you face in your new position and shows you how to deal with them effectively. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 1 of "Your Next Move: The Leader's Guide to Navigating Major Career Transitions."
