Do you have advice on performing a higher level role when you’re forced to complete lower level tasks at the same time? I’m an AD who is the ‘project owner’ of a key project. I do everything for it - project manage, execute work packages (except highly technical ones). I’m focused on the short term action needs ,which doesn’t leave me room to think strategically during key meetings. How do I shift to thinking into higher level ? I don’t have any vendor/ delegate resources.

I would try to get direct reports to assist. In the meantime block time off for uninterrupted strategic thinking, so you at least compartmentalize different levels of tasks

No direct reports in this role unfortunately.

Lobby for underlings. Make a financial case for why it’s a no brainer and deliver results.
