Most leaders think the shift from doer to leader is a gradual one. Read the right books, adjust a few habits, pick up some new skills. But that approach isn't just slow, it's the wrong model entirely. Real identity change doesn't work that way, and until you understand why, you'll keep putting in the effort and wondering why nothing is actually shifting. In this episode you'll discover: - Why the leaders who try hardest to change incrementally are often the ones who get stuck the longest - What it actually takes to make the identity leap from tactical operator to strategic leader - How to know if your ego is the thing quietly sabotaging every attempt you've made so far This one will challenge you. And it might be exactly what you've been missing. Your Challenge: Identify one area where you've been trying to change gradually but know deep down that a real leap is what's required. Get honest about what identity you're holding onto, get clear on where you want to go, and name the ego-based story that's been keeping you between the two. Then decide: are you ready to let go of the bar and leap?
