You can spend five years at a company and only have one year of experience, repeated five times. That is often the real reason you're still being treated like a junior, and it comes down to missing specific "senior signals" that leaders look for before handing over real responsibility.

In this episode of Success Subtext, Jag Dhaliwal ACA shares a 5 point scorecard that separates experts from order takers, and shows you exactly where your career progression might be stalling.

You'll learn how to build leadership before you have the title, connect your daily work to commercial awareness, develop communication and composure under pressure, shift from competence to ownership and judgement, and grow the influence needed to work with people who do not report to you.

In this episode:

• Why leadership is not about having a team, but stepping up when others need you

• How commercial awareness changes the way senior leaders see your work

• Why stakeholder facing experience builds a different skill to just doing the work

• The difference between competence and judgement, and why it matters for promotion

• How influence and relationships shape your career long before you need them

• A simple scorecard to identify your biggest gap and plan your next career move
