This is something I learned from successful leaders who have risen through the ranks in a short period of time. ( Corporate America ) They always say PIE.
Performance
Image
Exposure
Performance - being better than the rest, at-least in the top 10%.
Image - your personal brand. What do people know when they hear your name and what does your brand bring. ( innovation, #’s, teamwork, success, etc. )
Exposure - Who knows your Brand / Performance. As simple as your Leadership knowing your name, your success... without being that annoying kiss ass on every call or meeting who has to say something.
they always say -
P - 10%
I - 30%
E - 60%
60% of your success and ability to move up and grow is who you know.
30% is your personal brand that is being exposed.
10% is simply being better than the rest. above average at-least.
I do see this work in life, but definitely open to others feedback. Keeping things simplified of course.
