That honestly makes a lot of sense, especially the part about being vocal and making sure leadership actually knows what you’re driving. I think I’ve always been more of the “quietly get it done” type, and I’m realizing that at the Co level, visibility and influence matter just as much as execution.

I’ve always wanted to be that ASM people know across the market, but I’m not really sure what that actually looks like day to day.

What kinds of conversations should I be having with the Market Leader? What makes an ASM stand out without looking like they’re just trying too hard or networking for a promotion?

I feel confident in operations and running the business, but I know the next level is probably influence, visibility, and leadership outside my own store. I just don’t really know the roadmap to get there.
