Executive careers
The end of the financial year is a natural checkpoint. Use it.
Every June, organisations review budgets, performance and priorities. Very few executives give their own career the same scrutiny.
Before the new year starts, set aside an hour and answer these honestly.
Five questions to ask yourself
Am I in the right role?
Not a good role. The right one for where you want to be in three years.
Do I know my market value?
Salary, scope and how the market sees you, not just how your current employer does.
Is my brand current?
Would your résumé and LinkedIn profile get you shortlisted today for the role you actually want?
Who knows what I want next?
The people who make appointments need to know you are open to the right conversation.
What about the board?
If a board career is on your list, what have you done about it this year?
If the answers are uncomfortable, that is useful. It means you have found the work for next year.
Don’t wait for a restructure to find out where you stand.
