Women will apply to a
job when they believe
they meet
of the job requirements.
Men will apply if they
think they meet just
of the requirements.

The right conversation can be held at the
wrong time (for example, when your boss is
in bad mood or the person you're talking to
is the wrong person.)
It doesn't matter how good your request is if
you do it at the wrong time. Timing is
everything.

Timing is everything
Consider the corporate culture where
you work.
1) When is the wrong time to ask for a
promotion?
2) When is the right time to ask?

Make your request4
Soon after she was promoted to senior
manager, a woman approached her HR
business partner, thanked her for the
promotion, and said:
16. 16

“I am interested in
becoming a Principal.
What are the
requirements?”
17. 17

The HR person replied “It takes two
years”. The woman said thank-you and
returned to her desk.
But later that day she thought “Hey,
wait a minute!” and returned to speak
to the HR partner again.

“What would you need me
to achieve in two years?”
She met the requirements
in one year and got her
promotion.

Once you know the requirements
and have met them by 60% or
more, it’s time for the next step…

Make your request
• I understand the role requires a, b, c.
• I believe I am the ideal candidate for
this role because x, y, z.
• (check for their agreement)
• What are the next steps to move forward?
• (If you sense their hesitation) Is there any
additional information you need, in
order to consider me as the ideal
person for the position?

Be judged by your
potential not your
experience
“Several diversity officers and experts
told us that despite their best efforts,
women are often evaluated for
promotions primarily on performance,
while men are often promoted on
potential.”
Unlocking the full potential of women in the US economy, McKinsey, 2011

There are, however, some ways to
overcome this bias.
Make your
accomplishments
visible to your
management.
Enlist the help of
influential sponsors.
Help build a
corporate culture
where women’s
accomplishments
are recognized.

Be prepared to
manage former peers6
In my conversations with women who
have been promoted, managing former
peers is frequently cited as the toughest
challenge. In conversations with leaders
and review of literature on the topic, I
found three top suggestions:

Have a conversation
to discuss
expectations
(and do it as early as
possible)
Demonstrate
authority
(via your knowledge
and competence)
Re-negotiate
friendships with
former peers
(these will almost
always need to change)

“Think about this before you are
promoted, because what you do today
will impact your career in the future.
Establish your character and integrity at
the beginning of your career and
remain consistent, and people will be
able to picture you in that next role.”
