In my experience, job promotions are often based on personal favoritism rather than objective criteria such as qualifications or performance

They’re not just going to promote anyone just because they’re buddies with the big boss. You have to also have (or appear to have) the required skills.

@Tactical_DZ 7 месяцев назад

From entry level employee to warehouse supervisor, my professional career seems to be headed towards this exact kind of role in an organization I enjoy working for and believe in. I'm currently working on my MBA combined with a Supply Chain Management and Operations emphasis, and if I can become a manager sooner rather than later, it would be an incredible personal achievement for me. I can follow-up with this brilliant video again to help me accomplish the ultimate goal of becoming a director once I have gained the proper skill level and understanding of a senior-level manager. God bless you for sharing this knowledge, I will watch more of your videos.

@fullypromoted.westminster Год назад

@harpwarp 11 месяцев назад

I like how manager and director roles are differentiated. First step that I would take is getting to know more people outside of my team (1 month) and look for cross functional projects (after 1 month), and start building that relationship and contribute to decisionmaking, and be able to gain influence in current and future initiatives.

Always looking at how to improve myself. Challenging myself how can I be better in terms of leading our organization. It resonates well with me that a different mindset is needed.

@ebedoesit 6 месяцев назад

@loskotas0403 Год назад

I’m currently a manager and I can start practicing to train my reports for manager positions by giving them more independence and space to make decisions and opportunities to lead meetings etc. I would focus on observing and giving feedback. The cycle of giving and receiving feedback creates a higher and more abstract level of interaction to view ourselves and situations objectively. instead of being swamped with daily tasks , I probably need to spend time to step back and assess things strategically. Abstraction seems to be the key.

@@navi-x6950 I am not a director myself but from what I have observed those people have great and sharp mind. There are people without a college degree as well but their mindset is not of ordinary people, just like what has been described in the vid. If you are not born naturally (which most people are) it takes time to train your mindset, that's why Dr Grace has said start to try to have the mindset even before you are director.

@davidthompson5846 Год назад

Thank you Dr Lee! What resonated most with me was "chart the course". I believe this is what the executives are wanting. Have you not only thought it through, but are you providing a path forward that's clearly the best approach for everyone. Do you already have everyone on board? And, They need to feel that you are confident so that they can be confident in your plan

@ThePorterStyle 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video. Your opening salvo was very interesting and provided me much different perspective. A week can a half ago; I was selected to be the assistant Director of nursing for a care facility. The highest I’ve ever been is a charge nurse. I’m sure you can see how daunting this can be as you talked about the differences between the levels of leadership. I never really looked at it like that before. Your ABCs are excellent, and charting the path is the most interesting. As nurses, we are taught to do our best to see into the future for our patient's well-being. We’re not taught that in any other context. in the past, I have tried to get into leader ship, but I’ve been denied mainly because I like this understanding I suppose. Clinically I’m strong, so I will be looking at more of your videos to understand the leader ship side of it all.

@freshhorizonswithjakub Год назад

Great video. The key takeaway is definitely that you need to understand yourself to a degree where you can articulate and explain your mental models to others, use first principle thinking and be great coach, mentor and leader.

@mrsteele1781 Год назад

Great video. Over the past 6 years I've gotten 4 promotions and am now in management. What changed for me over 6 years ago was my mindset -- as you described. Yes, you want to do well at the job you're hired for, but you also want to learn/do some of the duties/skills for the next step-up of your career. Using this strategy, you'll also have things to put on the resume that set you apart and may get more recognition when looking to move onto the next stage.

@sarahrichards336 Год назад

@key-moi Год назад

What she says at 5:30-5:55 is so profound. There are employees who are willing to run through a wall for the Front Line Leaders and completely tune out directors above them. This is where personable traits come into play, this can’t be faked either. Either have the empathy or you don’t..

@alastairleith249 Год назад

I have listened to some of this. My take is to get to this level a) Understand that management is about operation. Its about productivity, dealing with people. Holidays, breaks, ensuring targets are met, delegation b) Leadership (which is the level management is) is about company vision, strategy, finance, risk, leadership. The pillars of the MBA A would be leader wanting to join the board would look to take an MBA, they would also be engaging in projects at the higher level and rubbing shoulders with those in that level to go across. Also to enter directorship, in some cases said person would be expected to make an investment in the company. I know of an Accounts Manager who needed to remortgage his house to invest in a company to become its Accounts Director. These are my thoughts.

Thank you for this Video, Dr. Lee. I've been a Sr. PM for 5 years in this large organization company. In our goal/career review note, I mentioned to my boss that I would like to be a lead/director. Their answer was ok. so, I guided and helped several co-workers across the group and in the group to excel. Yes, they gave me a good bonus and super positive feedback reviewed, but they didn't promote me, instead, they promoted those coworkers that I helped and guided. They even admitted, I guided and helped my coworkers to be successful. The funny thing is I feel like they hire me as a contractor instead of a full-time employee.

@babangidaabraham 3 месяца назад

You did good. Because of your action let me explain from what I gathered from Dr. Lees videos I watched. Personally, I think you did step 2; which gives you more efficient team and in one of her video she said they exceeded you more in "communication skills, which is more relevant than skills in some levels" As for step 1. From what I understood, a Director uses the leverage of company to get Clients which gives money to your company. If you want to be a Director, you have to think on that level. You need to build yourself that you understand how your company operates and get Clients for them eventhough you don't get raise, but build you build yourself. Note, I am not talking about getting a client through marketing but getting a Client that buys into your ideas and want to go to do business to your company through you; that is what she called " branding". Imaging you brought high class Clients that have confidence in you, if they have issues or questions they would want to see you and even ask you to negotiate on their behalf, so indirectly you have to know top company issues and discuss with Directors too. This places you as a Charismatic but still declared Director. As time goes by, your Company would want to have you more committed to the Company. As I said earlier, you did step 2, which is great; but you should know that Step 1 is not what you go about telling everyone; you could expose company secret. But with step 2, you would have some few loyal workers that are grateful for your mentorship. Anyways, as I said earlier; this is what I understood.

@ProjectManagementwithKK-oz9ei 6 месяцев назад

I think that this video is really awesome and crystal clear. Yes, it is very difficult to get to a Director level requires lot of patience, hardwork, commitment. I feel that it's very difficult to get promoted to a Director level in the same company as compared to going to another company as a Director directly. Mindset is the key and I feel that hands-on training executing Live projects would also be very helpful to prepare ourselves to become a Director. I think wanting to become and actually becoming has a lot of difference. Also, knowing what is required of a Director and actually being in the position is very different I believe. Nevertheless, having the target goal and working towards it without getting impacted by anything or anyone is crucial.

We need more individual contributors (assign diff. roles/positions based on their learning capability and skill levels) who can also lead and work as a team. I’ve seen too many incompetent “managers” riding on the back of talented contributors or faking it; vice versa, talented “managers” being assigned with unqualified/incompetent staff and have to waste time “managing” or doing their jobs for them.

@mrcream9749 7 месяцев назад

One of the things to look out for is doing more than your job role in tough times. Dotted about many companies across the planet are individuals backfilling for an additional role on top of their own. These individuals tend to be highly conscientious and put the needs of the team first. It is a common misconception that if you take on more responsibility you will be noticed, considered capable and thereby promoted. It depends. If you are taking on jobs and tasks that belong to your boss, then you are highly likely to be considered for a step up. But if you have assumed responsibilities of roles at the same level as you, or roles in your reporting line because of budget cuts, then chances are you can expect to stay there because (not withstanding anything else in this video), you are simply too expensive to replace.

@oblivionapproaches5790 9 месяцев назад

From my experience your definition of director is what managers do and your definition of managers is what supervisors do. Then I looked up director in wiki which shows managing director, executive director and company director which all mentions reporting to an executive, maintaining, planning and a particular group of managers and or departments.

@Alisha-hs8xj Год назад

I’ve been a senior manager for a while now and took this advice and shifted already into this mindset and have been showing this type of leadership.

The strategy is to understand other people's games, their modes of success and the strategies they've learbed to maximize/sustain success and minimize loss. The boardgame analogy is great, and i think it's better used when thinking of someone playing many boardgames at once, with varying stories, organizing rules, histories, and stock strategies.

I’m currently a senior manager (deputy director) at my firm. Over the last year, I’ve been more cross-functionally engaged with our subordinate companies, helping to problem solve and provide leadership/guidance to the respective company presidents. This is my 12th year with the company, and I’m grateful for the opportunities they have given me. With that said, my salary has been static since 2021 and I feel I’m ready for a higher level strategic role. I have discussed this with my boss, who agreed with me and even asked me to start thinking about a position title I would like. However, when I asked about a commensurate increase in my base salary, he stated that the company typically incorporates increases into annual bonuses. Fast forward one year later, my role, title, and salary are still unchanged. I did receive $6K additional to my normal annual bonus. With that said, I still would like to see an increase in my base salary and position title move upward. The bonus is great, but it’s an unknown every year. Am I being parochial about this or should I re-engage with my boss on the subject?

I like the mental models part. Maybe a video on how to determine those in yourself. At least sufficiently to check you are ready for director level. And also liked what will be next... Thanks

Great content… a complete mindset shift !

My take away is that director works on the "vision", defining "blueprint" for the corporation. To be able to do that, one has to also understand one's own mental strategy, because what one feels good shapes one's vision and influences the final "blueprint".

This is my first video I watch of your channel. What 3 criteria make a person ideal choice for director/manager?

I’m a manager now with a large company. Went through the assessment center last year and failed… still aspire to go for it again..

I have an interesting circumstance. My position has the "Lead" title which is a high individual contributor where I am. But I lead cross functional teams in Customer Service while my main job falls under Community (and I am the only Community Management person) for a Production department. I noticed that one of the Product people I work with previously was a Product Lead and got promoted to Director of Product. They had a similar circumstance. Would the Director route be something they are more likely promoting to me in the future having known this information? Thank you for reading!

All of the skills mentioned are required to be a competent IC.... yes, cross-functional influence, leadership, and etc are all REQUIRED just to be an effective individual contributor.

I keep coming back to this video so often, and I think I'm finally ready to take a leap towards director/lower executive positions! One thing holding back, however, is how I am perceived since I am still young (31 at the time of this comment). Would this influence how I can become upper management, despite having over a decade of work experience?

It's amazing how I can see the differences... I've been in every position... And I'm on B right now... Becoming a Director... Without the title 😂 but enjoying the ride ❤
