Depends on what action they to back up the comment.
If they move her to a stretch assignment, awesome, they mean what they say. 
If they put her in a 'leadership program' that's a stalling mechanism to keep her there for longer without actually having to promote her. 
Regardless, for me the Rising Star comment would set an expectation of promotion in the next 12-18 months.[/quote]

+1  Stretch assignments, Leadership Programs, and similar "rewards" are helping to grease the skids for promotion in the next 12-18 months.  Promotions do, in fact, often take that long to make happen.  VPs are often given a set number of promotions they can give out, and unless someone leaves, there isn't going to be room.  This is why you should use your mid-year and annual reviews to get some straight answers.  Your boss won't be able to commit to anything outright, but you'll get signals as to whether you should stay or leave.

By the way, it's always a good idea to explore the market to determine what you're worth in title and compensation.[/quote]
