Doing high-leverage work that no one above you sees
The situation this course is for
Senior individual contributors and managers in large tech organizations frequently deliver mission-critical outcomes, process improvements, cross-team coordination, risk mitigation, that resolve quietly but never surface in leadership forums. This pattern repeats: strong performance without proportional recognition, especially during promotion cycles or strategic reorgs.
Who this is for
Senior Manager in a global technology organization, accountable for delivery but not always visible to decision-makers shaping role expansion or advancement.
Who this is not for
Newly promoted managers still mastering core responsibilities; individual contributors not yet leading cross-functional efforts; executives already with regular C-suite exposure.
What you walk away with
- Identify and document high-leverage work that typically goes unnoticed
- Structure narrative summaries that resonate with executive priorities
- Integrate visibility practices into existing workflows without added burden
- Position recurring contributions as strategic assets, not operational hygiene
- Earn consistent recognition from stakeholders beyond direct reporting lines
