When to use

2. Verify candidate titles, reporting lines, team scope, budget, geography, decisions, programs, and results.

4. Rewrite summary and bullets around context, leadership action, scale, outcome, and evidence.
5. Distinguish direct authority, matrix influence, contribution, sponsorship, and team outcome precisely.
6. Prioritize the most relevant recent work and remove unsupported or junior task detail.
7. Check chronology, claims, confidentiality, keywords, readability, accessibility, and role fit.
8. Obtain candidate approval and preserve a verified master.

Done

• A tailored leadership resume document records target requirements, verified scope, decisions, team context, outcomes, governance, and source evidence
• Title, headcount, budget, authority, influence, metric, chronology, keyword, confidentiality, and candidate-approval checks verify truth
