At work, you crushed it as an individual contributor, but now you're leading a team (?!)—and no one gave you a manual. Suddenly, you're responsible for people, decisions, and dynamics that feel completely different from what you were doing before. So… what actually changes when you go from doing the work to leading the people doing the work?

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the hardest leadership transitions: moving from doing the work to leading the work. We’ll talk about the unexpected challenges, why the “I’ll just do it myself” mindset is a trap, and how to step into leadership with confidence—without micromanaging or burning out.

Whether you're a new manager or aspiring to lead, this episode will help you navigate the shift with clarity and confidence.
