what's this phrase mean? I saw the phrase in this sentence:“Unbeknownst to her, a senior leader had stuck out his neck to get her promoted.” It would be better to tell me the reason why the phrase is explained into this meaning. (if it means that the “leader” takes an adventure to make "her" promoted?)
