The pattern is to be hovering right next leadership and not fully commit to taking it on.
To be leadership adjacent or leadership curious and letting yourself be stopped there for one reason or another.
The challenge is to fully allow yourself to step into the leadership if you know you’re capable of it
or if you just have an inkling, the challenge is to explore it further and see what’s possible for you and not just take it that your career as an expert is the whole thing
Because your expertise was probably harder to learn than the leadership behavior you’ll need
And once you understand the logic behind what’s required at the next level, you can figure out what to do and how to show up
It seems opaque what it requires if you haven’t seen the logic but once you see it, it’s all figureoutable.
