Most promotions occur quickly, quietly, and well before they are publicly announced. Decision-makers are forming opinions now. Influencers are paying attention now. Your readiness is being evaluated now.
Most leaders delay preparing for higher roles, only to realize those opportunities were decided months earlier.
