How do I progress without a clear career ladder?

Hi Maria,

There’s no clear career ladder or set of expectations for directors in my organization, only a set of documents with new ones added every year. How can I find out what the growth expectations are?

Thanks,

Kris

Hi Kris,

One of the many things that gets fuzzier as you take on broader leadership scope is what good looks like. You might have noticed many versions of this: in your day-to-day priorities, in setting goals for your org, or as you mention, career frameworks. 

This isn’t to say that structure isn’t important, but it is more of the reality of the role at that level.
