Core promotion challenges
From “Your Next Move” by Michael D. Watkins in the section of Core promotion challenges:
What's really changed? | What should you do? |
---|---|
Broader impact horizon: There is a broader range of issues, people, and ideas to focus on. | Balance depth and breadth |
Greater complexity and ambiguity: There are more variables, and there is greater uncertainty about outcomes. | Delegate more deeply. |
Tougher organization politics: There are more powerful stakeholders to contend with. | Influence differently. |
Further from the front lines: There is greater distance between you and the people executing on the ground, potentially weakening communication and adding more filters. | Communicate more formally. |
More scrutiny: There is more attention paid to your actions by more people, more frequently. | Adjust to greater visibility. |
