What if the career framework your business wants won't keep the people it's built for?

You build what they ask for: job families, levels, competencies, a very nice search bar. Eighteen months later, your managers forward a link, and the strong people who asked get their answer from somebody else's offer letter.

The gap isn't a missing path. Most development happens in the job someone has today, and nobody is telling them how they're doing in it.

In this episode, Jackson breaks down the career-path request landing on HR desks right now, and what to build instead.

You'll discover:

• Why our profession keeps answering "where can I go?" with a framework no one actually uses
• How a consequential CHRO hears that question, and why she joins neither camp in the career debate
• What becomes possible when your managers stop sending people to a website and start telling them where they stand

If that request is headed for your 2027 plan, listen now and walk in with an answer that keeps the people you most want to keep.
