Description

Ever missed out on a Director promotion to an external candidate and wondered why?

In this episode I outline the key reasons that leaders may be overlooking you (and other internal marketers) and hiring externally, and what you should focus on to increase awareness of your Director-level capabilities so as not to miss out on future job promotion opportunities.
