It’s going to be hard to give up control of the stuff you know you’re good at and can do better than those under you. Be prepared to delegate and pass your knowledge down so they too can grow and you can take on bigger challenges.

Unrelated to your question- I know timeline varies by person but would love to know your time spent at each title.

Welcome to the C-Suite...of the account, anyways. In effect, you’ll need to take a step back and look at the broader picture. Feel the ownership.
