What skills or experiences should I focus on developing to move from hiring manager to a senior leadership role in talent acquisition or HR strategy? I've expressed my interest for this promotion to my boss and he said "it takes a lot more than experience for this role". I'm not quite sure what he meant, and I couldn't finish the conversation with him because he got caught up in a series of calls. What would you decipher from that? And what would you do to prepare for this next step?

He was likely pointing to leadership presence, strategic influence, or business acumen. Try and seek cross-functional projects, learn more about workforce planning and analytics, and consider certifications like SHRM-SCP or PHR to close any strategic knowledge gaps.

Generally, the people who get promotions are the ones already doing the work for that role. You make the case for yourself that you are already doing the work and need the title to move forward with it.
