WHY I got my A*SSS handed to me when I went from Practitioner to C-Suite!
We think we know the skills needed in the pivot, BUT do we really know?!
I thought I knew what it took to be a leader, after all, I was kicking A*SSSS as a practitioner. But as I started to get promoted, I started to received:
Critical feedback of what I needed to do different.
Team morale became a ‘thing’ I was responsible for (heh?!?).
It became less about building cool sh*t, more about managing people (blah!).
It was less about MY IQ, and more about my EQ, SQ, and BQ.
I wasn’t able to fully articulate the business value with data & convincing became even hard.
I fell flat on my face several times not understanding the true difference between contributing strongly vs. leading.
