Remember the colleague who had the same qualifications, experience and similar output? She got an invitation call from a senior leader you never met, for an opportunity that was never advertised. And you didn’t. You were doing your job equally well; so it wasn’t her performance. It was that she worked two jobs over the last three years, while you were working one. The second job is the one nobody applies for, has no offer letter, no pay and no manager. But it runs daily, whether you manage it or not. It is the job of building reputation capital.
