Have you heard about the VP TRAP?
It happens a lot more than you might think – or those around you are ever likely to admit.
Somewhere around the Director-to-VP promotion, the game changes, the players change, the rules change, the goals change, and everything you’ve learned that brought you success so far doesn’t seem to work any longer.
And BOOM! there goes the VP Trap, convincing you it’s your fault, that you’re doing something wrong, that you have no choice but to accept it
(clue: it’s not, you aren’t, and you don’t)
The VP trap is baked into the system
(to explain that takes time that we don’t have here)
but that has an upside:
When you know about it, you can plan for it, navigate it, or get out of it.
