Your executive team is resisting change. How can you break through their resistance and drive transformation?
I've managed several organizations through significant changes. As an example, I was asked to transform an organization that had been significantly underperforming for many years. Part of the transformation included significant changes to compensation packages for 70% or more of the organization so we could right size our cost structure. Of course we lost some people, of course we had many very emotion driven conversations. BTW - Transformational changes are hard! However, I believe that what allowed us to retain most of our critical workforce was the fact that we were overly transparent. If your going to "transform" something it's going to be hard and will take great communication and a stubborn focus on the goal!

Here's how you can highlight your problem-solving prowess during an interview.
I've interviewed thousands of people over the past three decades. I am amazed, even with Sr. Level Candidates, how few material questions I'm asked. This screams - - "this is just a job for me" -- and - - "I'm not as driven as I pretend to be and I lack curiosity". As a leader, I'm not interested in people that are searching for just a "job" and / or individuals who aren't "curious". Secondly, you should be able to clearly articulate accomplishments, even if they are small. But don't embellish, good interviewers will have follow-up questions and you'll have to start dancing if you stretched the truth which will cost you a great opportunity. Be Honest, Interested, Present and Curious!

Here's how you can surpass your performance goals and secure a promotion.
Continued advancement and achievement require purposeful and repeatable behaviors. The following has served me well: - Focus on what you can control....everything else is a distraction. - Build the reputation of being dependable / accountable - Deliver Results - Be clinical, emotion is the opposite of production - Outwork your peers...it isn't that hard - Volunteer to take the hard roles putting yourself in a position to fail and work hard enough that you don't - Be the person others want to work with...being nice is free and you'll learn faster by working well with others Results, Effort, Humility and Accountably are what matters. When you can put them all together "buckle up" because things will start to pop for you!
