The Trap of Promoting Your Best Individual Contributor

We talk about the silent tax of new manager promotions, specifically the identity crisis that hits when your best player becomes your boss. Lucas and Luna break down why technical excellence doesn't translate to leadership, using the example of a senior engineer who gets promoted but loses their edge because they can no longer code. We explore how to set boundaries with your old team and avoid micromanaging former peers, focusing on the psychological shift from doer to enabler.
