Fast Track Your Promotion Strategy – For Women Leaders

Leadership development and career strategist, Lee Crockett, aims to significantly empower women to ascend the corporate ladder smoothly and quickly. With a professional background encompassing a wide array of roles from business development and account management to operations and training, Lee has refined key strategies essential for achieving career success in male-dominated industries.

Stepping Out From the Shadows

Lee uses her personal experience with workplace challenges to guide women. For Lee, being the youngest, the only woman, the only woman of color, and the only woman leader were not barriers, but springboards. Despite facing countless obstacles and prejudices, Lee managed to transform her adversities into assets. With this content-rich guide, she aims to help countless women do the same.

Navigating the Corporate Ladder

The gender pay gap is a prevalent issue in professions worldwide and has been for decades. Lee's mission is to help close this gap by assisting women in navigating the complex labyrinth of the corporate world. As if being a woman in a high-level position isn't challenging enough, the pandemic has put women at an even more significant disadvantage, with men being promoted three times more often.

Empowering Women Leaders

In her role as a coach, Lee fast tracks the promotions of high achieving professional women. By teaching them how to play the corporate game and helping them shatter the glass ceiling, she empowers more women to take a seat at the boardroom table. Lee's guide helps women examine their career history, recognize patterns, and identify roadblocks that could prevent career advancement.

Strategic Steps to Success

  • Understanding the game: Recognition and promotion are not just about working hard; they also include strategically planning your actions.
  • Mastering the rules: Knowing and understanding the unwritten rules of base corporate politics can help in making informed career decisions.
  • Advocating for yourself: Ensure you are proactive in preparing and advocating for career advancement.

Path to Promotion Pyramid

Lee’s promotion strategy, the Path to Promotion Pyramid, is a four-step system:

  1. Building Your Foundation: Create a strategy based on your current position and career goals. Grow your professional network to fast-track your career.
  2. Driving Performance: Focus on activities aligning with business objectives and work on improving your team's performance.
  3. Building Your Bench: Delegate tasks that are not essential to your objectives and look for tasks that showcase your skills. Ensure a process is in place for your replacement.
  4. Making Your Move: Place yourself in a strong position within your organization to move up or accept outside job offers.

A Win-Win Proposition

No matter the outcome of the final step, “make your move,” you either get a raise, ascend the corporate ladder, or accept a better offer from another organization. In any case, it's about putting you in control, thereby empowering you to advance in your career.
