In this final episode of the From Buddy to Boss series, you explore how stepping into leadership comes with an expectation of growth, not just in results, but in how you think, see, and lead.

You walk through three surprising starting points: growth by subtraction (removing friction, clutter, and outdated habits that weigh your team down), growth by noticing (paying attention to people, patterns, and small signals that reveal where the real opportunities are), and growth by understanding the business (learning which numbers actually matter so your decisions move the needle, not just the paperwork).

This episode gives you simple ways to put this into motion right where you are by asking better questions, clearing one barrier, spotting one overlooked strength, and learning one key metric, so growth becomes less about pressure and more about creating space for your team, and yourself, to move forward together.
