Why capable professionals stall in corporates
Most qualifications prepare people for the work.
But they rarely prepare professionals for the unwritten dynamics inside corporates:
influence
visibility
decision power
leadership perception
These forces often determine who progresses — and who remains overlooked.
Understanding them earlier can change a career.
What this newsletter explores

how visibility shapes career progression

how leadership decisions are formed

how professionals position themselves strategically
Clear thinking about power, influence and leadership progression.
I'm Linda Reddy
I began my career young, navigating corporate life alongside motherhood and family responsibilities.
Over more than 25 years I progressed through the ranks to a global executive leadership role in London, operating across 24 countries.
Through that journey I repeatedly saw how influence, visibility and power dynamics shape leadership progression inside corporates.
This platform shares practical reflections drawn from that experience.

#4. You’ve been loyal to a leader. They leave. What happens next?
#5. If you left tomorrow, what would actually happen?
