Congrats, Reg! Well-deserved 👏 A piece of wisdom that’s helped me is to lead with a strong sense of boundaries but also kindness and empathy. Strength under control goes a long way.
1. Great leaders lead from the front, the side, and the back, depending on where the leadership is needed.
2. Regardless of how far you climb, never forget to bring others up with you.
3. Mentorship becomes harder and harder to find as you rise, so start crafting your personal board of advisors who can objectively give you feedback or counsel when you need it.
4. Adopt a no-asshole policy. This applies to everyone, including you. Team culture is the foundation of a high-performing team. I’ll take someone who’s trainable and brings 120% energy into the culture over a highly skilled individual who's a toxic presence, every single time.
Wow, thank you for this terrific list, Lisa! Completely agree with all of these as a mentee, and I hope I get to do these principles justice as a mentor. :)
When you go from being a contributor to a manager of people, your no longer focused on how you lead yourself (grow and learn and show up to challenges yourself) now you need to lead others - empower, inspire and support. I've led several global teams, multicultural and cross-functional. You may want to delve into Jim Collins work which he offers freely on his website - He has defined 5 levels of leadership. I hope this helps.
Congratulations! My best advice is to teach your teammates what you know, to empower them. Don’t hoard knowledge because sharing with them makes your work lighter and becomes more efficient for the whole team.
Thank you for this, Rachielle! Will keep this in mind. One pitfall I've seen is the tendency to gatekeep the knowledge and "salo" team mates, only to deprive them of learning opportunities. :O
Curiosity before judgment. Patience is a valuable virtue.

Yes, the more you teach, the more they grow, and it frees you to do more things commensurate to your pay and talent. Good luck! So proud of you!
Congratulations! 🎉
Thank you, Barb! :)
