At a certain level, leadership is 90% leading human beings and 10% managing/improving processes. It is ALL about people, interactions, and creating a safe space for people to do their highest, best work. It is no longer about you. In a classic case of “what got you here won’t get you there,” what people need most from you is to raise them up, highlight their work and accomplishments, and provide opportunities for visibility. They are hitching their wagon to your star. Your only job is to ensure they feel positively about that decision--at times even delight in it. You’ve made it when each person who has invested their trust in you as their leader cannot tell their own leadership story without linking your name to their success.
That alone gets you to the next level, and the level beyond that--if the leadership route is your chosen path.
