Learning a new role includes knowing which old shortcuts no longer belong.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Roles build efficient habits, and some of them stop being efficient the moment your responsibilities change. The quick fix you used to make yourself is now someone else’s job to own. The direct message that once saved a step now bypasses a person who needs to know. Competence at the old level can be a real problem at the new one.

List the moves you make automatically and ask which now belong to somebody else. Give those away deliberately. Speed that skips people is not speed at this level.
