Why this topic matters

In today’s fast-moving, hybrid, and AI-accelerated workplace, visibility is no longer optional. It’s the leadership currency that drives opportunity, influence, and impact. If you hesitate to speak up, default to doing rather than elevating or get buried in execution, it's time for you to take charge of your career and step into growth.
