​At a certain level, performance becomes the baseline, not the differentiator.

​The more senior we become, the less straightforward progression gets. Opportunity and influence are shaped not only by what we deliver, but by factors rarely discussed openly: who trusts us, who advocates for us, how we are perceived, where power sits and how well we understand the dynamics around us.

​So what really moves a career forward when everyone in the room is already accomplished? And what happens when it doesn’t move at all?

​When strong performance no longer translates into progress, stagnation can turn into disengagement. Recognizing when we are simply in a temporary plateau, and when waiting itself has become the problem, is an important part of navigating a career.

​This evening brings a candid conversation about performance, visibility, sponsorship, influence, power and organizational politics and how these forces shape career and leadership progression.

​The evening also marks the Singapore launch of Cornelia Schuler’s The Waiting Game, exploring the unwritten rules of career, power and progression.

​Expect candid stories, fresh perspectives and conversations over drinks.
