Don’t Force It. Forcing Things Causes Hemorrhoids.
Most people think of leadership as a ladder. You get good at it, you climb, and eventually the best leaders end up at the top. Simple enough. Except that’s not how it works. That’s actually a description of the Peter Principle, the idea that people get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. We’ve all seen it. The best salesperson becomes a mediocre sales manager. The brilliant engineer becomes a disorganized VP. The founder who built something from nothing slowly suffocates the company he created because he can’t let go of the controls.
