You can feel it. 

The workload’s surging, profit’s thinning, and you’re still the glue. 

But there’s that one person on your team who keeps showing up. 

Hungry. Reliable. Waiting to be tapped on the shoulder. 

This episode is for the moment you finally say it out loud: 

“I’m ready to elevate them… but what if they’re not ‘there’ yet?” 

I’ll walk you through how to sketch the ideal role first— 

so you stop squashing potential to fit today’s chaos, 

and start building the leader your business actually needs. 

We’ll talk about the 12–24 month runway high performers crave, 

how to set expectations so they don’t spiral when it gets hard, 

and why elevating from within can supercharge retention and culture. 

If the gap’s a bridge too far right now, I’ll show you the signals to go external… 

without gambling your culture or hiring a dud.
