Don’t Cling to Your Old Job After Being Promoted

Leadership growth is as much about identity as it is about skill. When you cling to your old job after being promoted to a leadership position and make decisions that should be under someone else’s authority, you cling to a version of yourself who earned the promotion. To thrive at the next level, you must release that identity and embrace a new one. Look at your promotion as an invitation to lead differently. To make a complete transition and empower your team to take ownership of the work you must leave behind, you should 1) clarify your new scope and authority; 2) set a clear transition date; 3) articulate your new leadership narrative; 4) redirect inquiries thoughtfully; and 5) invest in a thought partner.
