Stepping in to a bigger role can feel like drinking from a firehose.
The instinct is often to work harder, cover everything, and prove yourself everywhere.
But the leaders who stand out in their new job don’t do more.
They focus on visible impact.
Here are 3 tactical moves to create it quickly:
1️⃣ Deliver a quick win. Pick something achievable and high-visibility ... proof that you can deliver at this level.
2️⃣ Change your altitude. Stop solving every problem. Start asking the strategic questions that show you belong in the bigger conversation.
3️⃣ Prioritize presence. Be in the rooms where decisions are shaped, not just where tasks get done.
These small shifts compound fast.
They show others you’re already leading at the level you were hired for.
👉 Which of these could you put into practice this week?
