108 Developing Leaders Who Are Also Promotable – An Interview with Amii Barnard-Bahn – Part 1 of a Two-Part Interview

In this episode, Christina Martini and Amii Barnard-Bahn discuss:

• How Amii’s Promotability Index can help you in your workplace as well as individually. 
• The five key elements of promotability (and what you can do at any stage of your career).
• Creating a culture of consistent promotability within your company. 
• The importance of mentors and allyship. 

 

Key Takeaways:

• There is a way to give feedback that is effective, and where people can hear you. 
• Good presentation skills can be learned by anyone, you just have to practice. 
• It is important to invest in relationships and understand how you are perceived and your impact on those in your team and in the leadership.
• If you don’t have a good boss that is giving you the feedback you need, you can try and get it from the other people.
