How Senior Leaders Use Career Contracts to Set Boundaries

from Executive Careers with Fexingo: VP, C-Suite, and Senior Leadership Career Strategy · host Fexingo

Episode 33 of Executive Careers with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore the concept of a 'career contract'—a written agreement between a senior leader and their organization that defines role scope, decision rights, resources, and exit terms. They walk through the case of a Fortune 500 CTO who used one to secure a $2M budget and veto power before accepting a promotion. They discuss why verbal assurances fail, how to negotiate the contract without offending your future boss, and the three specific clauses every senior leader should include. If you're an executive or VP considering a move, this episode gives you a concrete tool to protect your career trajectory and avoid the classic 'bait-and-switch' scenario.
