You’ll be scored against the following key areas:
Visibility
Whether the leaders who decide promotions actually see your work — or whether your best results stay your best-kept secret.
Results & Impact
Whether your contribution lands as business value leaders care about — stated in outcomes and numbers, not busyness.
Influence & Relationships
Whether you can get things done through people who don't report to you — and land a point when it matters most.
Executive Presence
Whether senior leaders can already picture you at the next level — calm under pressure and credible in the room.
Sponsorship
Whether senior people will argue for you when promotions get decided behind closed doors you're not in.
Role Readiness
Whether you've decoded what your company actually rewards — not the official criteria, the real ones.
