What stage of leadership are you in: Expert, Enterprise, or Executive?


If you're familiar with the concept of the T-shape leader, you'll recognize the first 2 dimensions:


💪 The Expert Leader: You lead with deep expertise and technical mastery in a specific domain. This is the vertical part of the “T” - deep, focused, and confident in your craft.


🔥 The Enterprise Leader: You think beyond your functional silo. You collaborate across teams, see patterns across functions, and influence broader strategy. This is the horizontal part of the “T” - wide, adaptive, and connective.


🚀 The Executive Leader: You focus on vision, alignment, and long-term impact. You shape culture, drive clarity in complexity, and inspire across the business and beyond.


Most leaders I work with are in transition:

 ✨ Shifting from Expert to Enterprise

 ✨ Or from Enterprise to Executive


There’s no “right” mix.


But there is a blend that best serves:

* your purpose

* your team

* and your organization


❇️ So what’s your current mix?


Are you leading more from depth, breadth, or impact?


I'd love to hear how you're navigating it.
