3 Ways to Get Promoted as a Manager (Your CEO Will Notice) with Gene Hammett, Founder Coach

Want to get promoted as a manager? Doing your job well is no longer enough. In this episode of Growth Think Tank, Gene Hammett speaks directly to managers who want to move up, and to the CEOs who want them to. Too many managers say they take ownership, then blame people, process, or circumstances when things go wrong. Promotion goes to the manager who owns outcomes and makes the leader above them more effective. Gene breaks down three moves that get you noticed: take work off your leader's plate, solve a valuable problem outside your own team, and develop your replacement so you are free to move up. You will hear how one new manager turned a weekly meeting agenda into earned trust in just three weeks. This is managing up done right, and it is how leadership potential becomes a promotion. CEOs, share this episode with your managers. Then visit Core Elevation to learn how to build a business that runs without you.
