Book Preview:

#1 It is a mistake to believe that you will be successful in your new job by continuing to do what you did in your previous job, only more so. You must let go of the past and embrace the new situation to give yourself a running start.

#2 When you’re promoted, your horizon broadens to encompass a wider set of issues and decisions. To be successful, you need to learn to strike the right balance between keeping the wide view and drilling down into the details.

#3 When you get promoted, the things you delegate need to change as well. If you’re leading a small organization of five people, it may make sense to delegate specific tasks such as drafting a piece of marketing material or selling to a particular customer. In a larger organization, your focus may shift from tasks to projects and processes.

#4 When you get promoted, your ability to make decisions becomes more complex and ambiguous, and your ability to identify right answers based on data and analysis decreases.
