Many of us will have heard this phrase at some point in our careers when we’ve been asked to take on additional responsibilities:

“We just need to see you operating at that level for a while before we can make it official.”

But there are significant consequences for both you and your organisation of fulfilling an acting up role before you get the actual recognition and job title.

It’s something I’ve termed the 'prove-it trap' and there are things you can do to help prevent it happening to you, but you will need to be intentional about it.

In this week's episode of The Leadership Lounge, I take a straightforward look at what you can do if you find yourself in this situation.

Calm, intentional career advice that works.

Thanks for listening, if there is anything else careers related that you would like me to delve into then feel free to drop me a message.
