Leaders often focus intensely on doing great work, but struggle with making sure that work is visible to others. Being “the best kept secret” might sound nice, but it can limit opportunities for both you and your team.
Gayle Lantz explores why increasing visibility matters and explains that it’s not about bragging—it’s about ensuring the right people understand your impact so you can unlock more opportunities and gain momentum.
As she explains, “Visibility isn’t about promoting yourself. It’s about sharing the value you bring and ensuring it’s recognized and celebrated.” Leaders who actively showcase their impact not only create more opportunities for themselves and their teams but also inspire others across their organization to aim higher.
