HOW TO BE VP: An operator's guide for vice presidents in any industry
"This is the stuff no one tells you about being VP."
🔥 PROBLEM: No one teaches you how to be a good VP. There is no roadmap. No set of frameworks. You leave a lot on the table due to bad negotiating, and you're jealous every time you see other VPs getting promoted ahead of you.
âś… SOLUTION: Work closely with world-class coaches and mentors. Call them up whenever you need advice or feedback.
❌ HERE’S WHY THAT DOESN’T WORK: The best mentors and coaches are too busy to work with you. Others aren’t successful enough to give good advice.
✨ HERE’S A BETTER WAY: Follow in the footsteps of someone who has been in your shoes. Copy their frameworks, steal their resources, leverage their processes.
