Early in your tenure, you get CTLed if you really cannot do the job and cannot be coached. Later on, it’s whether you’re building the relationships and the platform to move up. At some point, you can no longer stall in your role and need to move up or out. It’s not as bad as it sounds, especially at the beg.
