#230: What To Do When Told “Wait Your Turn” for Partnership
You’re eligible for partnership, have been performing at a high level, and have been doing all the right things. You were even told you were on the path to partnership, and to expect it soon.

Unfortunately, "wait your turn" can mean different things. And no matter what is meant by those who say it, you should never just "wait". It's time to get more proactive so that you can increase the chances that you won't hear this again. Listen to today's episode to find out what "wait you turn" can mean and how to take control, putting yourself in a better position for partnership the next go-round.
