📢 Stepping into a new leadership role? Here’s what you need to know!
Many leaders are promoted because of past success, but excelling in a new position requires a mindset shift, strategic thinking, and adaptability.

🔍 Key Takeaways from Our Discussion:
✔ Don’t over-rely on past success – Each role demands a fresh perspective.
✔ Learn beyond your expertise – True leadership extends outside your comfort zone.
✔ Ask the right questions – But ensure curiosity isn’t misinterpreted as direct orders.
✔ Balance oversight and autonomy – Avoid micromanagement while maintaining control.
✔ Observe, adapt, and evolve – Every leadership level brings new challenges & expectations.

KPIs are designed to measure success – but what if they mislead rather than inform?In Episode 5 of Managing High-Stress Projects Q&A, I had a thought-provoking discussion with Tom Witterholt on why KPIs often fail and how leaders can avoid common measurement mistakes.
💡 Key Takeaways from Our Discussion:
✔ KPIs are rarely perfect on the first attempt – continuous refinement is critical
✔ Unexpected results? They might highlight real performance issues or flawed metrics
✔ Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data – choosing the right measurement approach is key
✔ Hidden factors matter – some root causes go beyond surface-level indicators
✔ Bad KPIs exist – some metrics may be impractical, misleading, or unmeasurable
