Act as a senior leader who has approved (and rejected) many promotion cases. About me: - Current level: [LEVEL] - Target level: [TARGET] - Time in role: [TIME] - Function: [FUNCTION] - Wins / impact in the period: [WINS] - Scope I've operated at: [SCOPE] - Feedback / signal from leadership so far: [FEEDBACK] Build a promotion case doc: 1. Summary — the case in 4 sentences 2. The competencies of the target level (and how I demonstrate each, with evidence) 3. Impact — projects with quantified outcomes (revenue, growth, savings, scope) 4. Scope and influence I now operate at vs. my current level 5. Endorsements / sponsorship from senior peers 6. Gaps I'm still closing and how 7. What I plan to do next if promoted 8. Counterfactual: what risks if I'm NOT promoted (retention, growth) Tone: clear and confident, not self-promotional. Format so a busy executive can read it in 3 minutes.
