A promotion feels like a finish line.Yet for the people around us, it's a starting line.When I stepped into my first leadership role, I kept doing what had made me good: solving problems myself, fast.My team watched. And waited.What helped me most was a short list I wrote in my journal at the time. Here are 5 questions we can ask in the first 90 days of a bigger role:1. What did I do well that my team should now do instead?
2. Which decisions am I still making that belong one level down?
3. Who are the 3 stakeholders whose view of me matters most now?
4. What do they need from me that they didn't need before?
5. What will I stop doing this month?The skills that got us promoted rarely fail us.Holding on to them does.Which of these 5 questions is the hardest for you right now?
