Why not? Fortune ran a story last week about how J. MICHAEL PRINCE's work ethic earned him a promotion when his credentials alone hadn't. He was told directly he wasn't right for the CFO role at Converse. He was just there to hold the seat for six months, so that's the window he gave himself to change their minds. And it worked. What made the difference was the clarity he was handed. He knew the exact situation and exactly what he could do to change it. Instead of giving up, he used the rejection as motivation, outworking everyone else and building the relationships that eventually made the title permanent. Most people in that position never get that kind of clarity, which is really the gap in career development we still haven't closed. A real shot at growth shouldn't depend on having a manager willing to be that direct. Prince's story is a reminder of what happens when someone finally gets the chance to prove it. www.https://https://lnkd.in/ejUGVEfE myNextory™ Grace Migliaccio Ken Roden Sabine Gillert Michael Razzi Dganit (Dee) Raviv, MBA Lynn DiBonaventura, CPC, ProSci Jerrod Modica Ajay Patel Araceli Guenther Brian Kelly Jonathan Brassington Renae Flanders William DiBonaventura Regan Kelly
