1: You have been in the same position for 3 years with no promotion. How would you feel? What action would you take?
2: Your company does not offer vertical promotions, only lateral transfers. Would you stay or leave?
3: You want to become a manager, but your company suggests moving sideways first to gain experience. How would you respond?
4: You feel bored in your current role but you are close to getting promoted. Would you stay or try something new?
5: You want to change industries completely. Is that climbing a ladder or moving through a lattice?
6: In your country, promotions are very competitive. How can lateral development give you an advantage?
7: Ten years from now, would you rather be highly specialized or multi-skilled? Why?
