Why Good Employees Become BAD Bosses

She was one of the strongest people on his team — until she wasn't anymore. Then she left.This episode is built around a real coaching story: a leader who got promoted for being the person who could solve any problem faster than anyone else in the room, and never learned what he needed to stop doing once he became the boss. We dig into the Peter Principle — why the skill that gets you promoted is almost never the skill your new role actually needs — and walk through three shifts that separate a performer from what leadership researcher Liz Wiseman calls a multiplier: Detach, Decode, Delegate.If you've ever corrected someone's method without meaning to, felt overlooked when someone else got the credit, or gone quiet when a decision happened without you — this episode is about that exact discomfort, and what it's actually protecting.Research referenced: Benson, Li & Shue, "Promotions and the Peter Principle," Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2019.Free discovery call available for anyone ready to work through this one-on-one: [email protected]
