On [#stanier-effective-manager], 15th chapter:
Career frameworks ensure that career paths within a company are clear and that employees have actionable steps for moving between levels. Here are some common traits of career frameworks:
- Define formalized level numbers (I.e, L1 to LN)
- Levels should have similar salary ranges within the same disciplines (I.e, this should be the case in the example given here Dual career ladder)
- Offer development possibilities (again, see Dual career ladder or About being an individual contributor versus being a manager)
- Define essential aspects for your company (i.e., "Impact", "Culture", "Expertise", "Influence", etc) as define expectations for these at each level
- IMPORTANT: Try to not define too many :)
