Many leaders put off leaving their organizations because they don’t know how, or they feel pigeon-holed. Sometimes there’s a trigger event that helps them make the decision (acquisition, pandemic, change in board membership, a
disruptive colleague, etc.), and sometimes it’s as simple as being bored and wanting something different.
Maddison and I examined more than 280 client files (spanning the pandemic) and uncovered a handful of themes for CEOs, aspiring CEOs, board advisors, and board directors from private equity portfolio companies, Fortune 500, and
mid-market companies. There are dozens of common themes.
Here is one:
“I want to find out the best way to market myself in this rapidly changing job market. With so much competition out there, how do I get noticed?”
Raising visibility inside and outside your organization is both a short and long game. Planning for the future you want now is smart versus reacting to an unpleasant new reality at work. Scouring LinkedIn and Indeed for
opportunities is futile at your level because most of those opportunities are never advertised.
Standing out in your industry authentically and effectively is easy when you have a plan, and we’ve created one for you.
In fact, we’ve described three primary areas to amplify your presence, break through the ceiling, and surpass the competition both internally (post-merger integrations) and externally (board applications, industry changes, and new
investors). Break out of stereotypes with signature stories, keynote speaking, and authoring whitepapers.
Getting recognized in your industry and inside your organization can dramatically improve your earning power while improving your confidence to get more out of your career.
