There's been talk of a promotion for me shortly. I'm excited, but stressed because I'm overthinking what will be required of me in terms of leadership skills. I'm introverted and really don't like telling people what to do or being in charge. What should I do?

You are likely already operating at the next level if you are being considered for promotion. I was hesitant too, but at the end of the day they wouldn’t promote you if they didn’t think you could handle it.

Even as an introvert what matters the most is that you’re able to help your fellow associates and be a first point of contact for questions before escalating to a manager.
They wouldn’t consider promoting unless you’ve already been functioning at that level anyway so I’d say you’re overthinking it and doing just fine

Take the promotion and figure it out after. It’s probably not going to be much different than what you are doing now.

On another note if you don’t like being in charge that’s something you’ll have to start getting used to. It’s not a huge change because you’ll still have managers in charge who get the final say on things. You’ll be more of a right hand man for them. And instead of telling people what to do, how about you work with people to figure out what they’re able to help YOU with. See a project as yours and accept help completing it from others

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?

I’m currently a Recruitment Consultant at an RPO with 4.5 YOE in Toronto. I received a salary raise last year. Recently I had another conversation with my manager for a comp raise. They was able to speak with their higher ups. Unfortunately, I got to know that they wouldn’t be able to increase my pay because of the economy. I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

I was told by management they see me in a more supervisory role at my first year review and during meetings. My second year review comes and there’s no talk about a promotion - instead it says “we can’t wait to see her excel“ and my raise and increase were the same as the prior year. I know I deserved more of an increase this year. I mentioned to my manager about the promotion and was told she will bring it up in a meeting. Three months later and I haven’t heard anything. Any advice?
