In this episode of PR After Hours, host Alex Greenwood discusses the 'solo contributor trap,' where top performers are promoted into management roles for which they are unprepared.

He explores the implications of this phenomenon, including the costs to organizations and the lack of alternative career paths for individual contributors. The conversation emphasizes the need for better support systems and recognition of different career trajectories in the workplace.
