Do you want to fast track your career to the C Suite?
Recently I wrote about one of my senior clients who got passed up for a CEO position. He spent a month upset at the organization, then upset at the world and then upset at himself. While reflection is healthy, you need to get over your setbacks much quicker. My client admitted to himself, and to me as his coach, that he had to begin to build his track record and profile that would lead him to the C Suite.
You need to communicate your successes and signal your intentions regularly.
When presenting to an audience you would:
-Tell them what you will talk about
-Present what your are taking about
-Summarize and remind them what you have told them about.
Why would your campaign to be the next leader be any different?
Putting It Into Action:
Take the initiative, take on more responsibility and lead projects that have a strategic imperative for your organization. Look for opportunities to play a lead role in a high profile project such as an acquisition or a global expansion. Report what you are doing, how you are doing and what the impact is to the organization to the most senior members of the executive team or any Board Members that you may know.
With you along the path towards success,
Joseph
