Impact of Titles on Your Executive Career — Negotiating Job Titles and More!

On Thursday May 23, 2024, CEOWORLD magazine published an article I wrote titled, “Impact of Titles on Your Executive Career — Negotiating Job Titles and more!”

The new article is designed for C-level and senior executives and those executives who aspire to the C-suite.


This article discusses how selecting and negotiating for the right job title can be important for your career, including how job titles can impact you professionally, in the following ways:


  • Perceived Status and Influence: Your job title reflects your level of authority and influence, and can position you as a decision-maker and strategic leader.

  • Career Trajectory and Succession Planning: Consistent, relevant titles will enhance your upward mobility, enhancing your chances for a future top role

  • Market Perception and Recruitment: Job titles affect perception of your experience and expertise. Recruiters perform online searches for relevant job titles. The right job title may merit a deeper dive into your credentials.

  • Executive Compensation and Equity: Titles often correlate with compensation packages. and enhanced equity opportunities.

  • External Reputation and Networking: A prestigious title opens doors. This can include invites to industry events, panels and media coverage. This added visibility enhances your reputation and expands your network.


My article then moves on to recommend from past experience strategies to aid you in negotiations over job title and authority within the company.


While my focus in this article, is on your executive job title, at the end of the article, two other areas are also mentioned: executive consulting, and titles in contracts, where titles in those areas too have also been proven important to executives.
