Manage episode 407470914 series 3560773
Do you aspire to advance within your current company?
Have you thought about how being an internal candidate might affect how others perceive you compared to an external candidate?
Paula wants us to consider all the pieces to an internal promotion. There are many advantages, such as a deeper understanding of the organization, but it also presents challenges. One challenge is the need to reassess your relationships within the company, which some people may overlook.
Paula explains that we have to be prepared to broaden our perspective and strengthen certain connections, that we may have not considered previously. Effectively navigating changing dynamics and understanding your role within the organization will make all the difference in your success.
In contrast, when someone joins from an external company, there is often excitement about the new perspective they bring. Yet, in the case of internal promotions, there may be skepticism about the person's ability to introduce fresh ideas or drive change.
Overcoming this perception and demonstrating your capacity to innovate within the organization can be challenging as well.
Listen to the show to learn about how you can prepare yourself for an internal promotion.
