228. Closing the Leadership Perception Gap
Most high-performing leaders believe that exceptional work will naturally lead to recognition and promotion.
Unfortunately, organizations don't make leadership decisions using perfect information.
Executives make decisions based on what they've observed, what they've heard from trusted leaders, and the evidence available to them. If your leadership isn't visible, your value may never become part of that evidence.
In this episode, Sue explains why performance and perception are not the same thing, introduces the idea of the Leadership Perception Gap, and shares practical ways to make your leadership easier for decision-makers to recognize.
If you've ever wondered why someone less capable seemed to get the opportunity you wanted, this conversation may completely change how you think about leadership visibility.
