When you step up, it’s not about doing the work, or even worrying so much about the content of the work anymore. It’s about growing an organization beneath you that can get the work done even better than you could do it. It’s about figuring out how to do things better when the world and budgets are set against you, as we talked about in the last two chapters. Your value is in developing strategy, people, and teams, not in delivering the work personally. Do you want that job? What does it mean to be good at that job?
