Strong Strategy ≠ Strong Execution.
If you’re backfilling managers, you’re not scaling.
You promoted for skill, but leadership is different.
Your best technical experts became managers. But instead of carrying execution, they’re leaning on you.
Now you’re back in the weeds: chasing alignment, mediating conflict, and fixing problems that aren’t yours to fix.
That’s not scaling. That’s backfilling.
This isn’t a performance issue. It’s an execution capacity gap.
And until it’s fixed, deadlines will slip, escalations will rise, and growth will stall.
