Expertise
A major milestone in the career of any leader is the shift from being the expert to leading experts.
You move from being the sought-after resource to building and developing a team of expert resources.
This transition requires a certain amount of letting go.
You have to let go of knowing the best decision.
You have to let go of being the primary trusted resource for partners across the business.
Most of all, you have to let go of your innate personal desire to feel needed for your expertise.
The expertise to now develop is the skill of leading and removing barriers for the experts on your team.
That skill is built on your willingness to let go and trust the genius of those around you.
