Episode 50 of Promotion Path with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore a counterintuitive promotion strategy: making your manager look good. They dissect the 2019 study showing that employees who proactively boost their boss's reputation are 23% more likely to be promoted within 18 months. Using the example of a marketing coordinator at a mid-size tech firm who orchestrated her VP's successful board presentation, they break down the three-part framework of visibility, attribution, and protection. Lucas argues this isn't sycophancy — it's strategic alignment. Luna pushes back on the risk of being overlooked. They walk through concrete tactics: writing the manager's talking points for all-hands meetings, volunteering for their pet projects, and framing your wins as team wins. The episode closes with a reflection on how this approach shifts the power dynamic from subordinate to partner.
