Why Top Performers Keep Getting Passed Over for Promotion with TIM SHARP

Share Post:

You’re outperforming everyone, and still getting passed over. 

A 30-year HR insider explains why companies reward compliance over contribution, and how to speak up without killing your career.  

Tim Sharp sat inside the HR rooms of the world’s largest tech and pharma companies for three decades. What he saw drove him to write a book so honest his lawyer warned it could get him fired — so he published it under a pen name.  

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

— Why the “good soldier” path stalls at middle management, and what the people who rise do differently 

— The “don’t outshine the master” trap 

— How to manage your visibility without dimming it 

— What “soft corruption” in senior ranks means for who actually gets ahead 

— Who HR really represents (Tim’s in HR — he said it, not me) 

— How Tim built real courage: 12 years sober, a values rebuild at 40, and the practice of speaking up
