They deliver strong results, develop deep expertise, make important contributions, and earn support from influential people, yet they still are not chosen for broader responsibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSyed identifies 6 familiar metrics leaders use to make the case for advancement: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eResults: \u003c\/b\u003e \"Look What I Have Delivered\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExpertise: \u003c\/b\u003e \"Look What I Know\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePersonal Contribution: \u003c\/b\u003e \"Look What I Do\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJudgment: \u003c\/b\u003e \"Look How Right I Am\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSponsorship: \u003c\/b\u003e \"Look Who Backs Me\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReputation: \u003c\/b\u003e \"Look How I Have Changed\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach metric reflects a real way of creating value.
