🚨The most dangerous day of your career isn’t the day you get fired; it’s the day you get promoted. Promotions come with higher expectations, not new operating systems.

Let me share the story of Sarah. She was the strongest operator in the building, always having answers and working harder than anyone else. Her promotion into senior leadership felt well-deserved. However, ninety days later, she found herself overwhelmed.

– Seventy-hour weeks
– Still in the weeds
– Reviewing everything herself

She wasn’t failing; she was succeeding at the wrong job. Her CEO finally addressed the issue: “Sarah, you’re doing the work of a director. I need you to build a machine that works without you.”

I have witnessed this moment repeat for 30 years. The skills that lead to promotions—heroics, technical depth, personal execution—can quietly undermine leaders at the executive level.

If you’ve recently stepped into a bigger role and feel:
– Overloaded but under-leveraged
– Busy but not impactful
– Responsible for everything but in control of nothing

You don’t need to work harder; you need a new operating system. That’s why I created a digital, interactive 90-Day Leadership OS—a practical workbook designed to help new leaders:
– Shift from execution to leverage
– Translate activity into business value
– Build systems that work without them

This is the tool I wish I had when I made the same transition.
