Hi Leader,
If you watched the video, you heard me describe what it feels like to lead inside a system that was never designed with you in mind.
What matters more than the moment itself is what it reveals.
Systems can elevate people into leadership.
They do not automatically prepare people to lead once they are there.
That distinction is easy to miss when the system is working for you. When the rules are clear, expectations are familiar, and authority comes with inherited credibility, leadership can feel deceptively straightforward.
Follow the playbook.
Meet the standard.
Keep moving.
But leadership doesn’t stay simple forever.
