How Senior Leaders Map Hidden Power Centers Before a Move

Episode notes

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how senior executives use organizational network analysis (ONA) to identify informal influence before accepting a new role. Lucas shares a specific case: a VP of Sales at a mid-market tech firm who conducted a pre-move ONA and discovered that 80% of strategic decisions in her target company ran through three people who weren't on the org chart. The episode walks through how to conduct your own mapping, what to look for, and why this strategy is becoming table stakes for C-suite transitions. A practical, data-driven approach to avoiding the hidden landmines in a senior hire. #OrganizationalNetworkAnalysis #HiddenPowerCenters #ExecutiveCareer #CareerTransition #InformalInfluence #C-SuiteStrategy #SeniorLeadership #JobSearchStrategy #ExecutivePresence #CorporatePolitics #CareerAdvancement #BoardReadiness #Networking #LeadershipDevelopment #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #ExecutiveCareers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
