Today's discussion is about the transition from a lower-level leadership position to a mid-level position within the same company. One of the biggest mistakes new leaders make is not getting out of the business of their old job and focusing solely on their new job descriptions.

It's incumbent upon the leader and the leader's supervisor to force the issue of firing themselves from their old job and embracing the new challenge.
