The Five Stages of Leadership: The Journey from Coding to Leading 🧭
summary
Maps promotions to five stages — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance — and gives concrete moves: use personality profiles (DISC, Predictive Index) to know self and team, apply the Dunning–Kruger-aware leadership styles teacher / supervise / coach / delegate per context, and use the Gears of influence model to turn influence + leverage + authority (example org: 13 people) into broader impact instead of becoming a bottleneck. Tactics: timebox, take team and manager pulses, measure KPIs, remove roadblocks but avoid traffic‑cop micromanagement.
