Episode notes

Episode 92 of Executive Careers with Fexingo explores the career S-curve framework - a tool borrowed from innovation theory that helps senior leaders identify when their growth in a role is plateauing and when to make a strategic leap. Lucas and Luna break down the three phases: the steep learning incline, the value-creation peak, and the diminishing returns tail. They walk through a concrete example using a fictional VP of Product at a mid-stage SaaS company, and discuss how to spot the inflection point before your network or compensation curve flattens. The episode also touches on how the S-curve applies differently to operators versus executives in portfolio roles, and why most leaders stay two to three years past the optimal pivot point. No fluff. One actionable framework you can apply to your own career trajectory this quarter. #CareerSCurve #ExecutiveCareers #LeadershipStrategy #CareerPivot #VPLevel #CSuite #CareerTiming #GrowthPlateau #InnovationAdoption #CareerFramework #SeniorLeadership #CareerMobility #StrategicMove #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ExecutiveCoaching #CareerPlanning #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
