Most leaders I work with are working harder than they've ever worked. And somehow making less impact than when they were two levels below where they are now.

It’s not because they got worse at their job. It's because the job changed — and they didn't change with it.

Every step up the ladder, there’s new work to do. But most people never let go of the work from the step below. They just keep adding. Step after step. Until they’re hauling a hundred pounds of work that doesn’t belong at their level.

The work that got you here won’t get you there.

Are you willing to let go of what made you great at the old job so you can become great at this one?
