Why do capable managers suddenly struggle after promotion?
In this episode of The Leadership Shift, Dr. Joe Pennino speaks with Dr. Lindsay Judah—fire rescue division chief, consultant, and leadership professor—about the hidden challenges of executive roles.
Key discussion points:
• Why promotion isn't just more responsibility—it's a complete role redesign
• The "muscles you didn't know existed": tactical to strategic thinking
• Organizations' biggest mistake: assuming competence = readiness
• Managing up: how to get clarity when expectations aren't explicit
• Leaders' role: explicit communication, one-on-ones, crawl-walk-run onboarding
• Why silence after promotion feels like ambiguity to your team
Practical takeaways:
• Use one-on-ones to define success metrics and decision boundaries
• Treat promotion like onboarding a new hire—explicit expectations required
• Shift from activity reporting to judgment and relationship investment
"If you've been promoted, don't wait for clarity—manage up."
