WHY do Stupid People Get Promoted Before YOU!

Why do idiots keep getting promoted? Because they worked out what's actually being scored, and you didn't. I've sat in the calibration rooms where those decisions get made, and here's what really happens.Chapters:0:00 Why idiots keep getting promoted0:08 Inside the calibration room (90 seconds that decide you)0:34 Is corporate a meritocracy?

What to do5:09 Free career diagnostic + my WhatsAppEight people talk about you for about 90 seconds. Nobody reads out your performance rating. Someone says your name, and either a story comes up with it or it doesn't. "She's the one who fixed the retention problem." That person moves. The idiot had a story. You had results, and the story won. Corporate isn't a meritocracy, and there's maths behind it: past senior manager, 10% of your advancement is performance, 30% is how you're perceived, and 60% is exposure to the people who decide your future. That's Harvey Coleman's research, and it matches every promotion room I've been in. You're pouring everything into the 10% and wondering why the number won't move.This video answers the 10 blunt career questions most people are too polite to ask. Does hard work get you promoted (and why being brilliant becomes your ceiling). Is HR on your side. Should you tell your manager you want a promotion, or is that the worst room to start in. Is your boss's feedback actually about you. Is bias real or an excuse. Is loyalty worth anything. Are mentors a waste of time when what you need is a sponsor. And the big one: what to do when you've been stuck in the same seat for years. If you're good at your job and still overlooked, this is the one for you.Two things before you go. First, the free career diagnostic scores you on six things most people never measure: visibility, communication, influence, political navigation, positioning, and compensation. It takes 5 minutes, and almost nobody's weakest score is the one they guessed. Second, when your results come through you get my personal WhatsApp. Not a bot, not a sales team, me. Send me your score and I'll tell you what I'd do in your situation. Links below.And if one of those 10 answers annoyed you, put the number in the comments. I'll take them on in part two.
