Kevin was just one level below the CEO of their multi-billion-dollar biotechnology company, and Paul had never formally met with him before, let alone been invited to his office. His heart beat faster, and he wanted to turn around.

Kevin jumped right in by saying that Paul’s performance, talents, and overall track record were all excellent. “You are great at what you do, and you’re a high-potential leader that top management has its eyes on,” he said. Elated, Paul started to completely relax. He even thought, maybe he’s wanting to give me my boss’s job.
