Book Preview:

#1 Bert was promoted to lead the plastic resins unit of BSC Chemicals, a manufacturer of specialty chemicals, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. He had 12 years of experience with the company, and was asked to join its corporate human resources organization.

#2 The new leader, Bert, was surprised by the scope and complexity of the problems he was faced with. He was not sure how to allocate his time, and he felt overloaded. He needed to delegate more, but he wasn’t clear about which tasks he could safely leave to others.

#3 The promotion challenge is to figure out what it takes to excel in your new role, how to exceed the expectations of those who promoted you, and how to position yourself for still-greater things. To meet this challenge, you must distinguish between common promotion challenges and those specific to your level.

#4 As you move up in an organization, the impact horizon, or the range of issues and challenges you have a direct hand in addressing, broadens. The complexity and ambiguity of what you have to deal with increases.
