Landing a C-suite role takes more than an impressive resume and a record of strong results. Executive candidates need to develop a concise, compelling personal narrative that demonstrates not only what they've accomplished but how they've achieved those results and why their experience makes them the right person for the role. A four-step framework'context, mandate, results, and action'can help candidates structure that story. Six principles can further strengthen it: tailoring the narrative to the role, knowing your career history, demonstrating impact, mastering the numbers, explaining how you lead and deliver results, and being forthright about the risks you bring to the position. Ultimately, the strongest candidates show not only that they can deliver results, but also how their leadership approach will translate to a new organization.
