Leadership promotions don’t reward competence - they demand reinvention.

In this Manager Track episode, Ramona Shaw reveals why about two-thirds of technically skilled directors plateau before reaching VP level… and how to beat the odds.

She discusses:

- The “Better Director” Fallacy

- The DJ’s Secret Power

- From Expert to Influencer

- Silent Promotion Killers

Plus, by the end of the episode, you'll know:

- Why the increasing popularity of lean management structures creates both risks and opportunities for mid-level leaders

- How to demonstrate "VP-readiness" without saying yes to more and more work

- How crisis leadership can become your ultimate influence amplifier

Getting that VP title is about already thinking, acting, and moving like a VP before anyone hands you the business card. So, this episode is perfect for directors who feel stuck or senior managers eyeing that next big promotion.
