Leadership positioning is the process of clearly defining and communicating the unique value you bring, so others recognize you as an authority.” The Brutal Truth Nobody Tells You “It’s not what you know, it’s what you’re known for.” Let that sink in. Because most professionals don’t lack talent. They lack positioning . Hard work creates results. But positioning creates recognition. And without recognition… Your work becomes invisible.
