Leadership development roadmap

  1. Take ownership of a measurable team outcome before pursuing a formal manager title.
  2. Complete a structured leadership program (corporate L&D, Coursera, or executive education).
  3. Hire and grow your first two direct reports — promotion to director requires multiplier evidence.
  4. Own a P&L or roadmap that touches at least two other departments.
  5. Build an executive-level network across your industry; sponsorship matters more than performance at VP+.
