You're ready for the next role.
Watching less-qualified peers get promoted instead.
You're doing strategic work. Still described as "tactical."
Your ideas matter in meetings. But they're not shaping decisions.It's not a capability problem - it's a visibility problem.
Most leaders try to fix this by:
• Updating their resume (again)
• Posting more on LinkedIn (exhausting)
• Networking harder (no traction)Six months later: still stuck.
Here's why: you're guessing at solutions without diagnosing the actual gap.There are five visibility gaps that block senior leaders:1. Strategic Visibility — Seen as tactical, not strategic
2. Leadership Identity — Known for doing, not leading
3. Influence & Presence — Ideas don't carry weight
4. Career Positioning — Materials don't match capability
5. Fulfillment Alignment — Succeeding at work that doesn't showcase youMost people have 2-3 gaps.But only ONE is costing you opportunities right now.
This assessment shows you which one.
Takes 5 minutes. Self-scoring shows you:• Whether you're in Red, Yellow, or Green Zone
