**A Leadership Crisis We Can't Ignore**

You’ve seen it happen.

A **high-performing employee** gets promoted into leadership… and then **things start falling apart.**

➡ Deadlines start slipping.  
➡ The team becomes disengaged.  
➡ The once-confident leader now looks **stressed and overwhelmed.**

It happens **all the time**, and it’s **not their fault**—it’s because **we set them up to fail.**

**Why?**

Because most organizations **promote based on performance, not leadership readiness.**

And when that happens, **the business suffers.** 🚨

**The good news? There’s a fix.**

✅ **Why so many newly promoted leaders struggle** (and what it costs your company).  
✅ **The 70:20:10 model for leadership development** (and why most companies get it backward).
