Challenge of transition
The document discusses the challenges of transitions in leadership roles. It notes that leaders often get trapped in the shift of expectations from a technical/functional role to managerial and executive roles that require more leadership, strategy, and managing others. Successful navigation of transitions requires self-awareness, a learning mindset, support systems, and personal practices to build resilience. Key dangers to transitions include a lack of these factors.
